American Furniture, Folk & Decorative Arts In overall fine condition. Retains traces of a historic surface and the original slip seat. Scuff, marks and scratches consistent with age and use. Old losses to the beaded edge along the top of the crestrail. Corner blocks are replaced. The crestrail previously cracked and reglued at the junction of each stile support. Top 1" of the splat's shoe foot previously cracked and reglued. Dowel pegs holding the rear seat rail in place are likely replaced. Small losses to the scrolls carved into the knees. Small spots of blue and green paint residue visible in few areas, though unlikely the chair was ever painted at all.
