Figure 19 Side chair, New York City, 17001725. Maple with oak. H. 45 5/8", W. 18 1/8", D. 15 1/4". (Courtesy, Milwaukee Art Museum, Layton Art Collection L1982.116; photo, Richard Eells.) This chair reportedly descended in the Pieter Vanderlyn family of Kingston, New York. Pieter immigrated to New York City from the Netherlands in 1718. His arrival date suggests he may have acquired the chair from an earlier owner. |
