Gift of Mrs. Estelle De Peyster Hosmer
Object Number:
1945.118c
Gallery Label:
According to the accession records, the donors believed that this chair and its mates belonged to their ancestor, John Watts (1749-1836). Close examination, however, has shown the chairs to be late nineteenth- or early twentieth-century reproductions. Evidence includes the quality of the carving, the color of the wood, and the fact that there are band-saw marks inside the seat rails (see publications).
