Description:

This has been called the "non electric chair of redemption". The Kentucky Penitentiary in Frankfort opened in 1800 and from 1804 to 1928 used convict labor to produce shoes, barrels, nails, shingles, cut stone, chairs and other products that were sold to defray incarceration costs. This elegant form, with continuous arms, was made from about 1810 to 1840 with examples transitioning from the Neoclassical through Classical styles. The design is northern Italian, where the form dates to a generation earlier, but with variants continuing from the late 18th century to the present How the design came to Kentucky remains a mystery. Chair has a woven cane seat, bow arms and slat backs on turned legs. Great aged patina. Chair measures 29" by 21" deep by 38" tall, seat height is 19". See Lot 14 for other featured in the auction
