Beautifully Crafted Antique Carved Wood and Woven Ash Splint Chair blue and white swirl though I'd probably treat them

though I'd probably treat them as little sculptures and line them up in a row

studied at the Art Students League in NYC under Thomas Hart Benton among others

Beautifully Crafted Antique Carved Wood and Woven Ash Splint Chair blue and white swirl though I'd probably treat themOne sees doll chairs and benches in this manner around these parts from time to time usually referred to as Adirondack but I don't think I've ever seen one as lovely as perfectly aged as this one, which feels like pure sculpture to me. Late ish 19th century I believe, the frame of the chair was carved in pieces with tiny nails used to secure them where the pieces meet, with bent twigs for the sides and woven ash splint I believe for the back and seat.
