There was also a Nathaniel Frost active at the same time, but he did not appear in the Boston Directories. Nancy Goyne Evans, in her book, Windsor Chair Making in America: From Craft Shop to Consumer (2006), first proposed that Frost was incorrectly identified as James. In a footnote to validate her point, she cites David Tilden, Esq., vs. William Seaver and Nathaniel Frost, May 1804, Inferior Court of Common Pleas, Suffolk County, Boston, Mass. As of 2017, this document is not available digitally."},{"label":"Subjects (AAT)","value":["Cradles","Children's beds"]},{"label":"Subjects","value":["Cradles"]},{"label":"Bibliography","value":"Advertisement: \"Ginsburg & Levy,\" Antiques 71, no. 1 (January 1957): 15.

The hood consists of approximately fifteen horizontal spindles. The cradle is framed in thick roads. The back of the hood resembles the back of a bentwood Windsor chair, with nine vertical spindles.

Along the body are fourteen vertical spindles on either side from the top post to the plank base. The end of the cradle also resembles a bentwood-back chair with six vertical spindles from the top of the arch to the base. The cradle sits on four legs, which are braced by h-shaped spindles, and terminate in bends."},{"label":"Date Digitized","value":"7/20/2018"},{"label":"Marks, Signatures, and Inscriptions","value":"Printed, paper label: [WARRANTED / WINDSOR CHAIRS / and SETTEES / in the newest stile, and of superior quality / Made and sold by SEAVER & FROST / Sign of the Windsor chair / No. 57 [text illegible, words omitted] Street, Boston / They offer to return money should quality not answer the expectation of purchaser.]."},{"label":"Materials","value":"Unidentified wood"},{"label":"Style","value":["Windsor"]},{"label":"Basis of Date","value":"Dated 1800 because it is the only year when the Boston Directory locates Seaver and Frost at 57 State st., the address on the object's printed label."},{"label":"Date (EDTF)","value":"D:00 M:00 Y:1800"},{"label":"Basis of Origin","value":"Seaver and Frost were active in Boston in a chairmaking partnership from 1800 until 1803."},{"label":"Place of Origin","value":"Boston, Massachusetts"},{"label":"Basis of Maker Attribution","value":"Labeled by makers."},{"label":"Maker","value":["Frost, Nathaniel, cabinetmaker, 1780-1857","Seaver, William, chairmaker, 1764-1841, active about 1796-1832","Seaver & Frost, cabinetmakers, active about 1800-1803","Frost, James, cabinetmaker, 1770-1861, active about 1798-1831"]},{"label":"Other Name","value":"Cradle"},{"label":"Object Type","value":["Bed"]},{"label":"Object Use","value":"Sleeping and reclining furniture"},{"label":"Category","value":"Furniture"},{"label":"Title","value":"Cradle"},{"label":"Date Modified","value":"7/20/2018"}],"description":"Cradle","sequences":[{"@type":"sc:Sequence","canvases":[{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/winterthur/iiif/59d6879d-966f-4757-9f7e-b0163bfe5313/canvas/_1","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"dapc_1966-1505-001_overall","height":1500,"width":1201,"images":[{"@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/winterthur/iiif/f1b0e4ea-8506-4e2e-ad0e-ba8c19086949/full/full/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","format":"image/jpeg","service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/winterthur/iiif/f1b0e4ea-8506-4e2e-ad0e-ba8c19086949","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json","tiles":[{"width":512,"scaleFactors":[1,2,4]}]},"height":1500,"width":1201},"on":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/winterthur/iiif/59d6879d-966f-4757-9f7e-b0163bfe5313/canvas/_1","metadata":[]}],"thumbnail":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/winterthur/iiif/f1b0e4ea-8506-4e2e-ad0e-ba8c19086949/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","height":500,"width":500}},{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/winterthur/iiif/59d6879d-966f-4757-9f7e-b0163bfe5313/canvas/_2","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"dapc_1966-1505-002_label","height":1500,"width":1426,"images":[{"@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/winterthur/iiif/5a0c8630-337e-40b7-a0da-64129c48f6ca/full/full/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","format":"image/jpeg","service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/winterthur/iiif/5a0c8630-337e-40b7-a0da-64129c48f6ca","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"},"height":1500,"width":1426},"on":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/winterthur/iiif/59d6879d-966f-4757-9f7e-b0163bfe5313/canvas/_2","metadata":[]}],"thumbnail":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/winterthur/iiif/5a0c8630-337e-40b7-a0da-64129c48f6ca/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","height":500,"width":500}}]}],"thumbnail":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/winterthur/iiif/f1b0e4ea-8506-4e2e-ad0e-ba8c19086949/full/300,300/0/default.jpg","logo":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/winterthur/iiif/logo"}
