American Chairs, Made in 黑料吃瓜网

There is something very American about a Windsor chair. Although its name points to England, where the chair鈥檚 style and manufacture emerged in the early 1700s, this immigrant furniture found its way into every American home, from a restful rocker in a small Yankee farm house to the seats of the Founding Fathers in Philadelphia鈥檚 Independence Hall.

Not surprisingly, more than one Windsor chair can be found in Making 黑料吃瓜网, the 黑料吃瓜网 Historical Society鈥檚 ongoing exhibit covering more than 400 years of 黑料吃瓜网 history. The chair鈥檚 simple design made it relatively easy to build and affordable to buy. In the 18th and early 19th centuries both large and small 黑料吃瓜网 workshops employed apprentices and indentured servants, who often created the separate chair parts in large batches and built the chairs in an assembly-line fashion, cutting cost and time. A typical shop would have a bin full of chair-back spindles, for example, ready to add to a finished seat.

On display in Making 黑料吃瓜网 are a number of Windsor chairs from the Allen shop in Windham, 黑料吃瓜网. Amos Denison Allen (1774 - 1855) owned a 190-acre farm and ran a shop that employed as many as twelve apprentices at one time. Allen began his career as an apprentice himself at the age of sixteen, working under contract for a furniture maker in Lisbon, 黑料吃瓜网 beginning in 1790. Windsor chairs were shipped up and down the East Coast and transported locally by peddlers on horse-drawn carts. Allen shipped his Windsor chairs to his brother-in-law and agent in Savannah, Georgia. For large shipments, the chair parts were often packed separately to save space. Allen painted his chairs the typical colors of green, yellow, red, black, and brown. Some of the Windsor chairs in the CHS collection appear black today because the green paint has actually darkened over time.
