Important Private Virginia Estate
Note: The Christie's catalog entry for the needlework upholstered example records that "With its original needlework upholstery cover and a notable provenance, this side chair is an important and rare survival from mid-eighteenth century Philadelphia. As indicated by the Roman numerals on its frame and slip-seat, the chair was originally part of a larger set of at least nine chairs of which two or three others are known. These comprise a chair at Colonial Williamsburg, a single example advertised in 1956, and a third, which may or may not duplicate the previous example, published in 1960 and sold in 1998 (David Stockwell, advertisement, The Magazine Antiques (September 1956), p. 173; Barbara Snow, "Living with Antiques: The Home of Mr. and Mrs. J. Stanley Lee, Newtown, Pennsylvania," The Magazine Antiques (September 1960), p. 240; Wechsler's Auction House, Washington D.C., 17 January 1998, lot 185). The first three are illustrated with needlework seat covers that are virtually identical to that made for the chair offered here. With green grounds and stylized leaves and flowers worked in shades of red, yellow, blue and green threads, these covers represent the original coverings. As discussed by Morrison H. Heckscher, this set is distinguished by the broad width of its splats. A side chair now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art with slightly variant shell carving but an identical splat was most likely made in the same shop and, with a similar historical association as the set represented by the chair offered here, may have furnished the same eighteenth-century household (Morrison H. Heckscher, American Furniture: The Queen Anne and Chippendale Styles (New York, 1985), pp. 82-83, cat. 38).
This chair descended to the twentieth century with a history of being part of the furnishings of Graeme Park in Horsham, Pennsylvania, a provenance that is supported by the other known chairs from the same set, all of which were also associated with the historic house by their later owners. Originally called Fountain Low and probably constructed for utilitarian purposes, Graeme Park was built in 1722 for Lieutenant-Governor Sir William Keith (1669-1749) on his 1,735 acre estate about twenty five miles north of Philadelphia. Keith returned to England in 1728 and, while the chairs were later thought to have been owned by Keith himself, they date to the period following the house's purchase by Keith's son-in-law, Dr. Thomas Graeme (1688-1772) in 1739. Graeme had accompanied Keith to Philadelphia in 1717 and two years later married Keith's step-daughter, Ann Diggs (d. 1765). After purchasing the house, Graeme re-named the estate and began its transformation into a Georgian summer mansion by re-planting the gardens and retrofitting the house with interior panelling. For almost a hundred years after Dr. Graeme's death in 1772, this set of chairs appears to have remained intact on the estate and owned by successive proprietors of Graeme Park. Graeme bequeathed the estate to his daughter, Elizabeth Graeme Fergusson (1737-1801), a respected poet and scholar who hosted America's first salon, attended by Philadelphia's leading intellectual figures such as Dr. Benjamin Rush and Francis Hopkinson. Elizabeth has been credited with working the floral needlework covers on the chairs, but it is also possible that they were stitched by her mother, Ann Diggs Graeme, especially if the chairs were made closer to 1740 than 1760. Evidence of the latter's proficiency in the needlework arts is suggested by "the Crocadile [sic] in Needle Work by Mrs. Graeme," which was in a bed chamber in 1778; interestingly, the same room had "6 chairs with the old Arm chair," possibly a reference to some of the set represented by this chair. During the Revolutionary War, Elizabeth's husband, Hugh Fergusson, was a Loyalist and deserted not only the country, but his wife. In 1791, Elizabeth transferred ownership of the estate to Dr. William Smith (1746-1822), her niece's husband, and in exhchange, he managed her finances. In 1801, Smith sold the parcel of land that contained the mansion house to Samuel Penrose (1748-1833), a prominent local Quaker farmer, and, in 1821 Samuel sold it to his son, William Penrose (1782-1863), who had been living on the estate with his wife in a separate house since their marriage in 1810. For much of the nineteenth century, Graeme Park was largely uninhabited and looked after by the Penrose family, a circumstance that probably contributed to the survival of the chairs' needlework seat covers ("Addendum to Graeme Park," Historic American Buildings Survey , HABS no. PA-579, pp. 1-29; Thomas Allen Glenn, Some Colonial Mansions and Those Who Lived in Them (Philadelphia, 1899), pp. 367-398; Theodore Webber Bean, History of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania (Philadelphia, 1884), pp. 880-883, 888-896; Simon Gratz, "Some Material for a Biography of Mrs. Fergusson, nee Graeme," Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography , vol. 39, no. 3 (1915), p. 295; "People" [biographies], www.graemepark.org ).
The set of chairs appears to have been separated upon the settlement of William Penrose's estate in 1865. This chair and the example now at Colonial Williamsburg descended through William's daughter, Ann J. (Penrose) Iredell (1811-c.1881) and remained in the Horsham area until sold out of the family. Colonial Williamsburg purchased their chair from Iredell Twining (1879-1971); his sister, Ida (Twining) Jones (c.1873-1968), was the last family owner identified at the time of this chair's sale at auction in 1983. The chair illustrated in The Magazine Antiques in 1960 (see above) descended to William Penrose's younger daughter, Hannah (1820-1894), who at Graeme Park in 1857, married Isaac Worstall Hicks (1809-1898), son of the celebrated artist, Edward Hicks (1780-1849)."

- A GEORGE III (1738-1820) NEOCLASSICAL
A GEORGE III (1738-1820) NEOCLASSICAL PAINTED ELM AND B...A GEORGE III (1738-1820) NEOCLASSICAL PAINTED ELM AND BEECH ARMCHAIR, after designs by THOMAS SHERATON (1751-1806), the oval back centering a hand painted paterae issuing a blue ground band with pink and blue flower blooms and delicate buds on leafy tendrils, and a laurel leaf and berry garland hung within a dado joint constructed web or wheel form back, each spoke painted with a carrot spear pointing to an oval medallion with a figure of Ceres, crowned with flowers in sparse landscape, the contoured seat covered in yellow ground floral upholstery within bowed arms painted with grape leaf and berry vines, on restrained swan neck form supports with whimsical stylized strawberry plants, raised on square, tapered legs with repeating blue ground flower bloom tendril bands, ending on spade feet, joined by a rose bloom tendril painted flat front rail. Note: In Ralph Edwards' Sheraton Furniture Designs, from the Cabinet-Maker's and Upholsterer's Drawing-Book 1791-94, printed by The Compton Printing Works Ltd., London, 1946, he reproduces illustrations from the posthumous printings of Thomas Sheraton's designs. The present chair crest rail is painted with a paterae design that evokes the central detail of a chair rail design on page 43. On pages 18-19 Cornices with Ornamented Friezes, detail a vertical ornament with entwining serrated leaf and berry tendril, which when compared to the fruiting tendrils painted on the present chair arms, a remarkable likeness is evident. The back construction is something only a seasoned carpenter could execute, the mark of quality is subtle but quite apparent. Tracery examples on pages 7-9 likely gave the carpenter a variety of sinuous forms from which to work from while executing the chair back. Finally on page 68 a selection of vegetal flourishes ends with a rose bud dotted spray, which when compared to the front seat rail and back supports, are simply intentionally modeled after Thomas Sheraton's brilliant designs. The cabinetry publications produced in the 18th/19th centuries by designers and carpenters such as the Adams Brothers, Thomas Sheraton, and George Hepplewhite persist in informing cabinetmakers on unsurpassed woodworking trends. The simplicity of Sheraton's design, well suited for hand painted details, appealed to the economic sensibility and tastes of the burgeoning merchant class. The joyous theme of abundance, beauty, and spring is clearly conveyed here. Height: 37 3/4" Width: 24" Depth: 20"
