Windsor Chair-Bow Back, c. 1795-1810

This bow-back Windsor chair is circa 1795-1810. this might be a Philadelphia chair. The chair was painted originally , but what is now on the chair is not old. The seat is white pine and one arm is birch and the other is oak. There is a saddle seat which contains old green paint with later decorations of what appears to be a cherub and a garland of flowers. This chair is somewhat county in style and with a turned stretchered base.
