Product Description: Hickory Chair HC6413-23 Montgomery Chair - In the early 1700s, upholstered easy chairs were the most costly seating furniture available. They were designed with "wings" for protection from drafts in poorly heated rooms. The Montgomery chair, created around 1800, is a more delicate version of its predecessor. With a tall, straight, upholstered back, it closely resembles a lady's lolling chair of the period but maintains the sweeping arms of the earlier form. The cone-shape vertical arm support is typical of New England. Hickory Chair artists have adapted the design of Winterthur's New England easy chair to create this contemporary form. Dark Walnut is the standard finish. Spring-Down seat cushion standard.
Collection Features: From the library and antiques found in the Winterthur Museum, this collection pays homage to great American design. H. F. du Pont's vision of assembling the greatest examples of American furnishings into authentic room settings lives on in Hickory Chair's reproductions and adaptations. Combined in groupings or used individually, many of these timeless forms may be personalized through a wide range of finish options.
