Illus. 170.—Chippendale Chair.
It is extraordinarily good in design and carving, fine in every detail. The gadrooned edge upon this and the roundabout chair is found only upon the best pieces.
Illustration [171] shows one of six chairs owned by the writer.
The design of the chair-back in Illustration [172] is one that was quite common. The chair belongs to the writer.
The chair in Illustration [173] is owned by Mrs. E. A. Morse of Worcester; the one in Illustration [174] is in the Waters collection, in Salem, and is one of a set of six. The legs and the rail around the seat of the last chair are carved in a rosette design in low relief.
