# 5056. Pictured is one of a pair (2) of an American Empire Arm Chairs. From a Episcopal Church. These chairs are Altarboy Chairs. This rare form was specially made for the Altar of an important New England Episcopal Church. Neither a child's chair (too large) nor an adult chair, but in between in size. This size, especially a pair, is seldom seen on the market. Mahogany and Oak and Mahogany veneer. Size: 18" wide x 18" deep x 34.5" tall to the top of the back. The seat is 19.5" tall. Condition: various old repairs, losses to carvings and some veneer loss. This pair of chairs are identical and have stayed together as a pair throughout their existence. The paw feet and carved back indicate an above average client. P.O.R.
Note repair to the right paw foot.
