(See DAPC_2015-5087 for the English chair.) 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_2015-5077; DAPC_2015-5087"},{"label":"Dimensions","value":"Height 44.5 in.

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. Scrolled forms extend from behind the arms of each putti, curving behind their heads and inscribed with three incised lines. 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 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. 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 attached to one another with mortise and tenon joints. The seat frame is carved down at the top interior edges and pierced so that the caning may be woven through it. The caning is likely original. The front legs are rope-turned with rectangular blocks at points of intersection with the stretchers and seat. The rear legs are baluster-turned with a similar block pattern. Rectangular grooves are cut into the corners of the seat frame to accommodate the legs, which are mortise and tenoned and glued to the side seat rails. Small wood strips are glued to the underside of the seat frame where the front and right rear legs attach. This may constitute a repair.  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 reinforced with glue. The front feet are thin ball feet while the back feet are raked-back stump feet. The entire chair is covered with a dark wash.  The chair retains its original seat squab, embroidered in gold with a stylized pink flower. The flower has five light pink outer petals and five dark pink interior petals with five green leaves. Its center is brown with yellow dots."},{"label":"Date Digitized","value":"1/31/2017"},{"label":"Marks, Signatures, and Inscriptions","value":"None found"},{"label":"Materials","value":"Oak; Cane"},{"label":"Style","value":["Renaissance Revival","Colonial Revival"]},{"label":"Basis of Date","value":"Date based on museum records, history of manufacturer, and research conducted by Robert Mussey."},{"label":"Date (EDTF)","value":"D:00 M:00 Y:1914 - D:00 M:00 Y:1940"},{"label":"Basis of Origin","value":"The factory of Irving and Casson-A.
