Richards and Evans attribute this chair to Boston, based on the pattern of the chair. However, Phillip Zimmerman believes this chair is probably from Rhode Island. The shaping of the front seat rail, curved bead on the knee, C-scrolls undercutting the front legs, and narrow splat profile are R.I., not N.Y., features. Per P. Zimmerman 10/2/91.
