Nichols & Stone Stenciled Hitchcock-Style Side Chair, Mid to Late 20th Century

Item Details

This elegant side chair by the historic Nichols & Stone Co. of Gardner, MA, is a quintessential example of mid-20th-century Colonial Revival design. Executed in robust Northern hardwoods, the chair features a striking black lacquer finish accented by a hand-stenciled floral crest rail and delicate gold-tone pinstriping. The contoured saddle seat highlights the natural wood grain, providing a warm contrast to the ebony frame. Supported by tapered, ring-turned legs and a traditional H-stretcher, this piece combines the craftsmanship of America’s oldest chair manufacturer with the iconic ‘Hitchcock’ aesthetic.
