More information and images on our #200 Carr Rhode Island Chair
This distinctive comb-back Windsor arm chair carefully duplicates a Rhode Island example that descended in the Carr family of Newport and Jamestown, one of the stat's oldest and most prominent families. The date 1780, incised on the bottom of the seat, may well indicate the date of origin for the chair. In its clean lines, ample proportions and well articulated turnings, the Carr family comb-back successurlly captures the essence of American Windsor design.
Frederick Duckloe & Bros., Windsor chairmakers, have adopted every detail of the original including the use of the same wood species and deeply scooped two-and-one-half inch plank pine seat.
