Light wood stringing outlines the outer and inner edges of the front of the shield-shaped back. The yoke-shaped crest rail is divided into equal sections by three pierced slats that join a marquetry fan of alternating light and dark wood inlays set into the lower corner of the shield. The flat slats are shaped like spindles surmounted by tassels. The slats flare at the crest rail. Ovals of alternating rays of light and dark wood are inlaid in the centers of the spindles; the slats are pierced on either side of the ovals. Rear stiles, which are continuous with the back legs, meet the outer edges of the shield midway up the sides of the shields. The stiles curve inward slightly at the top. The front edges of the stiles are outlined in light wood stringing. The trapezoidal seat has a slight serpentine curve along the front edge and slightly convex side edges. The seat is upholstered over the rail. The two front therm legs are outlined in light wood stringing, which arches at the top. The chair has rear stump legs. Rectangular side, medial, and rear stretchers support the legs.  According to the Longfellow National Historic Site object record, the fabric is twentieth century. According to Charles Montgomery, there are open corner braces in front and no rear corner blocks (1969)."},{"label":"Date Digitized","value":"10/31/2018"},{"label":"Basis of Materials","value":"Mahogany, holly, and satinwood identified as the primary material according to Longfellow National Historic Site, and beech and birch identified as secondary material, the former constituting the seat rail and the latter used for the right front open brace, according to a wood analysis performed by Forest Products Laboratory, Madison, WI, conducted October 1976."},{"label":"Materials","value":"Mahogany; Holly; Satinwood; Beech; Birch; Upholstery materials; Cotton textile"},{"label":"Style","value":["Federal"]},{"label":"Basis of Date","value":"Date range provided by Longfellow National Historic Site (1982)."},{"label":"Date (EDTF)","value":"D:00 M:00 Y:1790 - D:00 M:00 Y:1810"},{"label":"Basis of Origin","value":"Based on attribution to Foster, who worked in Charlestown."},{"label":"Place of Origin","value":"Charlestown, Massachusetts"},{"label":"Basis of Maker Attribution","value":"Attributed to Forster by Longfellow National Historic Site (1982).
