Catalogue Note: Petersburg, VA was a significant hub of commercial activity in the second half of the 18th century and drew in people and goods from across the globe. The present corner chair, produced during this "golden age" for Petersburg, typifies the "neat and plain" style so popular for Southern colonists. Sculpted out of extremely rare cherry or applewood and possibly made by an immigrant craftsman, this chair has clear British design antecedents. A rare survival from an important early Southern manufacturing and mercantile center, the appearance of this corner chair on the market represents a unique opportunity to acquire a beautiful and authentic 18th-century piece of Virginia seating furniture.Excellent condition with minor wear.Condition
