Hubbard, who advertised as a chair dealer and painter, worked at the same address as chairmaker William White. In 1878, White took over Hubbard's business under his own name. In Boston directories, White is initially listed as a chairmaker; he is later described as a chair dealer, chair manufacturer, and furniture manufacturer. White's advertisements in the directories reference the production of settees, \"invalid locomotive chairs,\" tables, fancy chairs, rocking chairs, and office and school furniture.  \"Children?ÇÖs chairs fitted with a writing leaf...appear to have been unknown before the 1840s. [This chair] probably was made for the schoolroom rather than home. New England, particularly Massachusetts, led the way in an educational awakening that swept the nation during the second quarter of the nineteenth century. Its central focus was the concept of popular education. Free schools were established in many metropolitan centers during the 1830s, and the movement soon spread to other, less populated areas...By mid-century, Boston had become a center for the manufacture of school furniture, and many seats were already being designed with pedestal supports to be bolted to the floor. The child?ÇÖs writing-arm chair somewhat predates the pedestal chair, but the low-back pattern was current well beyond midcentury. Before the common use of single and double desks, the chair with a small writing leaf...was more convenient than the lap as a writing support. A flat surface and two nail holes along the right plank side (as seated) suggest that the seat once held an attached box or basket.\" (Nancy Goyne Evans, American Windsor Furniture: Specialized Forms, 170)."},{"label":"Subjects (AAT)","value":["Writing-arm Windsor chairs","Windsor chairs"]},{"label":"Subjects","value":["Windsor chairs"]},{"label":"Bibliography","value":"Book: Nancy Goyne Evans, American Windsor Furniture: Specialized Forms (New York: Hudson Hills Press in association with the Henry Francis du Pont Winterthur Museum, 1997): 170, fig. 2-47."},{"label":"History of Ownership","value":"Previously in the collection of Allen Antiques, as of 1976."},{"label":"Dimensions","value":"Height 19.5 in.
