Displaying the distinctive joinery and decorative devices of Thomas Seymour, this elegant lyre-carved side chair was likely made by the celebrated Boston cabinetmaker for Isaac Vose & Son. As recently discussed by Robert D. Mussey, Jr. and Clark Pearce, Seymour employed a unique seat rail "shelf" in the joining of the side and rear seat rails, a detail seen on the chair offered here. Furthermore, the chair has nearly identical carving to an example attributed to Thomas Seymour, probably for Isaac Vose & Son currently at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (1971.180.29) (Robert D. Mussey, Jr and Clark Pearce, Elegant Rather Than Showy: The Classical Furniture of Issac Vose (Boston, 2018), inside front cover, pp. 264-267, fig. 332).
