Description: This
vase-back chair originally was made for the wealthy
Salem merchant Elias Hasket Derby. The chair is
part of a larger set, two pieces of which are at
Bayou Bend (Museum of Fine Arts, Houston), and one
in the Karolik Collection (Museum of Fine Arts,
Boston). The design of these chairs is an enriched
version of plate 2 from George Hepplewhite's "Cabinet-Maker
and Upholsterer's Guide" (London, 1788). The carved
grape clusters in the lunette at the base of the
splat and suspended from bowknots at the top of
each leg are a motif traditionally associated with
the work of Samuel McIntire, a Salem carver and
architect.
