A Fine Chippendale Mahogany Lolling Chair Newburyport or Portsmouth, circa 1785 In fine condition with an old surface.  Note the detail photograph below taken from underneath showing the braces that slip into notches in the corner of the seat frame, a feature rarely found on American furniture but sometimes found in Portsmouth. Additionally, notice the fine cabinetry in the way the arm supports are dovetailed into the seat frame.   © 2013 Peter Sawyer All photographs and text are the property of Peter Sawyer and may not be duplicated without permission.
