Pennsylvania, 1740-1750, sculptural form with scrolled arms and boldly formed cabriole front legs ending in trifid feet, upholstered in fine red silk damask and a sittable, non-intrusive upholstery system designed and fabricated by Leroy Graves, 45 x 33-1/4 x 27-1/2 in.
Provenance: Butterfield's, June 11th, 1996; Property from the Collection of Dudley and Constance Godfrey
Note: Typical of the best Philadelphia easy chairs in the early Georgian style, this example has cyma-shaped cheeks, outward flaring arms with horizontal and vertical scrolls, a compass seat, and front cabriole legs. The trifid feet are a detail likely introduced by immigrant Irish craftsmen, who began arriving in the Delaware Valley during the 1720s.
