$425.00

Dimensions: 29"H x 30"D x 16"W x 15.75"

The ladder-back chair is one of the oldest and most continuous forms in American vernacular furniture. This example was produced by an individual craftsman or small workshop using techniques unchanged for centuries: turned posts, mortise-and-tenon joinery, and a woven splint seat. The seat, woven from strips of split wood, was a practical and durable choice that could be repaired and rewoven as needed.
