Hitchcock Stencil-Decorated Eagle Side Chair, Mid to Late 20th Century
Item Details
This classic Hitchcock-style side chair is a 20th-century revival of the iconic American ‘fancy chair.’ The ebonized frame features a broad, curved back splat decorated with a sophisticated stencil of a spread-wing eagle perched atop a globe—a quintessentially Federal motif. The top rail and front legs are accented with bronze-toned metallic powders and gold pinstriping, replicating the traditional 19th-century hand-stenciled techniques. The chair is fitted with a hand-woven natural rush seat and supported by a robust stretcher system with turned front legs, blending decorative artistry with functional New England craft.
