About this item

This banister-back armchair, owned by the Hoyt family of Deerfield, Massachusetts, started life as a side chair in the late 18th century. The short arms were added sometime in the 19th century. At the same time, the legs were cut to allow for rockers to be attached. They have since been removed. The chair is made of maple and ash.
