According to museum records, Rose Standish Nichols carved two replicas of this chair, which was owned by her family, in the early twentieth century (see DAPC_2015-5076 and DAPC_2015-5077). She and her sisters maintained woodworking as a hobby through adulthood following their education at the  innovative Mrs. Shaw's School as children. At the school, boys and girls studied together, an uncommon practice for the period. Among their lessons was the sloyd woodworking method for children, which was meant to provide a holistic education for body and mind. Sloyd, or educational sloyd, was a system developed in Finland in the 1860s and practiced in the United States until the early 20th century."},{"label":"Subjects (AAT)","value":["Side chairs"]},{"label":"Subjects","value":["Chairs"]},{"label":"Associated Objects","value":"DAPC_2015-5076; DAPC_2015-5077"},{"label":"Dimensions","value":"Height 43.5 in. (110.5 cm), Seat height 17.625 (44.8 cm), Width 19.25 in. (48.9 cm), Depth 15 in. (38.1 cm)"},{"label":"Description","value":"English Jacobean-style side chair made from beech. The chair back is flat and rectangular with a straight crest rail and squared shoulders. The crest rail is pierced and carved with a crown at the center supported by two putti. Inscribed lines extend from behind the arms of each putti, curving into scrolled wings behind their heads. The crown has five curved sections with small circles lining the inner three. At the center, a circle adorns the top of the crown and layered square forms suggest diamonds at the bottom. The squares are flanked by two fleur de lis. The rear stiles are continuous with the back legs and composed of one piece of wood. The stiles are rope turned and carved with a stylized flower and two leaves on the rectangular blocks where they meet the crest rail and lower slat. The stiles are topped with acorn-shaped caps decorated with inscribed lines. Between the stiles, a carved and pierced splat frames oval-shaped caning that continues onto the edges of the crest rail and lower slat. On each side of the caning, the splat is carved with a stylized central flower from which long scrolled leaves and tendrils protrude. The lower slat is decorated with a nearly identical foliate carving. Below the lower slat, the stiles have another short section of rope turning extending until they attach to the seat frame.  The seat is trapezoidal, framing a caned sitting surface. The seat rails are mortise and tenoned to the legs and secured with pegs. The rear left leg is also secured with an L-shaped bracket. The seat has likely been taken apart and re-pegged, and some of the rails may have been replaced. The seat frame is carved down at the top interior edges and pierced to accommodate the caning. The caning is secured with nails or pegs. The caning on the seat is replaced?Çöevinced by excess holes in the rear seat rail for the previous caning?Çöbut the caning on the splat may be original.  The front legs are rope turned with three rectangular blocks at points of intersection with the stretchers and seat. The front faces of the blocks are carved with a stylized flower identical to the carving on the rear stiles. The rear legs are baluster turned with a similar block pattern. The front legs are topped with two turned concentric circles. The rope turned stretchers are arranged in an H-form with two additional stretchers above running between the front and rear legs. The rear stretcher is rope turned. The front stretcher is carved and pierced with a crown similar to the crown on the crest rail. Four foliate tendrils project from either side of the crown, the longest one forming a scroll. The stretchers are attached to the legs with mortise and tenon joints and some are reinforced with wedges. The front feet are thin ball feet while the back feet are raked back stump feet, all seemingly integral. The bottoms of the rear feet may be reinforced with new wood or trimmed. The entire chair is covered with a dark wash. An insect infestation has left holes in much of the wood, significantly weakening the legs and feet.  The seat squab is embroidered in varying shades of gold, pink, green, and blue in a geometric pattern."},{"label":"Date Digitized","value":"1/31/2017"},{"label":"Marks, Signatures, and
