Attributed to Joseph Henzey (1743-1796).
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, ca. 1790.
Over-all in excellent condition, painted brown, retaining an old varnish finish, faint water staining on the seat.
Label with provenance on underside of the seat.
Note: This chair was originally owned by Benjamin Atkinson (1754-1810) and Ann Gibbs (1756-1842) of Burlington, New Jersey. Ann’s parents were Martin Gibbs (1732-1826) and Phebe Gibson (1734-1781). While the label states otherwise, given the likely date Henzey would have made the chair, Benjamin and Ann were its first owners.
Provenance: Collection of Charles and Olenka Santore.
