- Lot Description
SIGNED RICHMOND, VIRGINIA FANCY CHAIRS, SET OF SIX, each featuring a scrolled tablet back, shaped plank seat, and turned front legs. Two stenciled "Habliston & Bro. / Chair Factory / [?] Governor St. / Richmond, Va." to the underside of the seat. Each retains a likely original paint-decorated faux-grained surface. Mid 19th century. 31 1/2" HOA, 14" x 15 3/4" seat.
Catalogue Note: Charles Balsley Habliston (1820-1874) was born in Baltimore, Maryland. He established his furniture business in Richmond in 1840, and two years after, his brother Frederick Heintze Habliston (1822-1906) joined the firm, and the name was changed to Habliston & Bro. The 1850 Federal Census for Richmond recorded him as a Furniture Courier, and he was recorded as a furniture dealer in the subsequent 1860 and 1870 censuses. The 1886 Industries of Richmond described the form as "...the oldest and largest furniture establishment in Richmond." The last evidence we located of the company is an ad in the August 24, 1894 issue of the Richmond Times. The present chairs are a simplified version of the Baltimore Fancy style, although the form had become omnipresent by this late date. Habliston's use of the term "Chair Factory" would seem to indicate he was manufacturing the chairs in Richmond. However, his census occupations suggest he was simply a dealer. More research is needed.Condition
Good overall structural condition with some loose joints and other expected wear; the paint-decorated surfaces with heavy to moderate loss.
- Provenance
From a Richmond, VA private collection.
