Side Chair

The basic pattern for this chair originated not in America but in Britain, a fashion force that continued to make itself felt in Virginia and other coastal states long after political independence was won. Designs for household furniture were still being transmitted across the Atlantic in the published pattern books of the day and by way of British craftsmen who continued to emigrate to the former colonies in some numbers.

These chairs descended as part of a large sert in the Talbot family of Talbot Hall, Norfolk, Virginia, and likely were produced in the area.
