The seat back is composed of a solid, rectangular, curved tablet screwed into two vertical stiles which are continuous with the rear legs. The tablet is painted a dark brownish green, matching the overall paint color of the chair, with golden painted Greek key details framed by a golden rectangle across the front surface. The paint surface is heavily worn in the center of the tablet and many of the painted details are faded throughout the chair. Below the tablet is a pierced, carved openwork horizontal splat, cut from a solid piece of wood and tenoned into the stiles. The splat is painted brownish green with gold and red highlights. A narrow painted solid horizontal slat spans the stiles below the openwork splat. The compass-shaped rush seat is surrounded by bentwood edging, making it difficult to determine the seat construction. The turned and tapered front legs are mortise and tenoned into triangular painted blocks in the front corners of the rush seat and terminate in bun feet. The swelled cap section at the top of the front legs has a golden painted flame detail on the front surface. There is a matching flame detail at the bottom of the front legs, just below a turned ring. The raked-back rear legs are smooth turned below the seat and continue into the stiles with two rows of ring turning above the seat and flat sawn sections on the front surfaces below the tablet. The legs are connected by a front and rear stretcher, and two stretchers on each side. The side and rear stretchers are plain round spindles while the front stretcher has a central swelled diamond shape with ring turning on either side. The diamond section is outlined in yellow paint and originally contained a painted detail in the center that is now almost completely faded."},{"label":"Date Digitized","value":"7/23/2018"},{"label":"Marks, Signatures, and Inscriptions","value":"Torn paper label on left rear surface of tablet: [illegible]."},{"label":"Basis of Materials","value":"Materials identified in Harbor & Home catalog entry (see Bibliography)."},{"label":"Materials","value":"Maple"},{"label":"Style","value":["Empire"]},{"label":"Basis of Date","value":"Receipt for chairs is dated July 30, 1819."},{"label":"Date (EDTF)","value":"D:00 M:00 Y:1819"},{"label":"Basis of Origin","value":"Receipt shows that Samuel Beal of Boston sold the chairs to Gershom Bradford.
