Bay Colony Antiques is pleased to offer for sale this fantastic 18th century antique Queen Anne ladder back arm chair. The chair has a 5 slat back with generously formed bulbous posts with ringlet turnings. This is probably a Massachusetts chair based on the sausage turned stretchers & beehive arms, but we’ve handled a few from Rhode Island & Connecticut so to err on the side of caution we’re just calling this a New England chair. The splint seat was redone some time ago & is in great condition free of any breaks. The middle back slat has been ended out & the chair was originally a few inches taller. It’s not uncommon to see the legs ended out as these chairs are ~250 years old & a lot can happen through the generations. The chair measures 23 1/4" wide x 17" deep x 40 3/4" tall. The seat alone measures 19 1/4" wide between the arms x 15 1/2" deep with a seat height of 11 1/2" tall. 18Th Century Antique Queen Anne New England Ladder Back Arm Chair
