Amish Nantucket Windsor Armchair
This is a high-quality Amish-crafted Nantucket-style Windsor armchair, characterized by its traditional woodworking techniques and solid hardwood construction. The chair features a prominent crest rail with hand-carved decorative volutes at each terminal, showcasing a highly figured grain, likely tiger maple or cherry with a warm amber stain. The backrest is composed of seven vertical spindles supported by two heavier outer posts with classic 'bamboo' style turnings. The arms are intricately carved with a serpentine 'knuckle' grip, supported by turned balusters. The seat is sculpted with a deep 'saddle' contour for comfort, joined to the legs via through-tenon construction. The undercarriage consists of baluster-turned legs connected by an H-stretcher with a central bulbous turning. The overall condition appears excellent with a rich, uniform patina and minimal visible wear, suggesting a contemporary build (likely late 20th to 21st century) inspired by 18th-century American federal design. The craftsmanship is indicative of heirloom-quality joinery, with smooth transitions between turned and flat surfaces.
