However, small differences suggest that the chair was made by a Boston-trained maker with a Salem influence. (See Montgomery, American Furniture: the Federal Period, pg. 90).  Around 1972, DAPC catalogers initially attributed the chair to the shop of Stephen Badlam based on the [I.C] marking on its rear seat rail that is an identical match to one of the markings on a tall case clock from Badlam's shop. About 1982, the attribution was changed to Joshua Coates of Vose and Coates for unspecified reasons. In 2018, the attribution was changed back to an apprentice from Badlam's shop, Joseph Crehore. Based on the style of the chair and its marking that matches the one on the Badlam clock, it seems more likely that Crehore was the maker than Joshua Coates. The style of Vose and Coates-made furniture does not match the style of Badlam-made furniture, and this chair fits into the style of the latter category. Robert Mussey, a specialist in the work of Vose and Coates, supports the association of the [I.C] marking with Crehore (see David F. Wood, \"The Best Workman in the Shop: Cabinetmaker William Munroe of Concord,\" in Boston Furniture 1700-1900, ed. Brock Jobe and Gerald W. R. Ward (Boston: Colonial Society of Massachusetts, 2016), 224, no. 34). The object record for the chair found in Winterthur's online collections database does not make a certain attribution to any maker."},{"label":"Subjects (AAT)","value":["Side chairs"]},{"label":"Subjects","value":["Chairs"]},{"label":"Bibliography","value":"Book: Charles F.

The shield-shaped chair back has a central arch and squared shoulders. The edges all around are molded. The crest is a separate piece from the rest of the back and features a basket of fruit at center flanked by trailing vines. Within the stiles that constitute the frame are five shaped and carved slats. The five slats, of which the central is straight and the other four are curved towards the center, have flared tops and carved elements that appear to be upside-down baskets holding three pendent, pointed leaves. The central slat is additionally carved with a trail of three graduated three-petaled bellflowers and three single petals. The slats stem from a scratch-beaded lunette at the pointed bottom of the chair back, which is inlaid with a satinwood fan. The seat has a serpentine front and rounded sides and is upholstered over the frame at the front and sides and half over the rail at the back. The legs are chamfered on the front, inside corner and the rear legs cant backward. The front legs are serpentine-molded and have beaded edges on the outer sides. The legs are braced by four crowned stretchers in a box shape, with one medial forward at center, one at each side, and one at back mounted slightly higher than the other three."},{"label":"Date Digitized","value":"1/19/2019"},{"label":"Marks, Signatures, and Inscriptions","value":"Stamped inside rear seat rail: [I.C]."},{"label":"Basis of Materials","value":"The Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library identifies the primary wood as mahogany and the secondary wood as soft maple, beech, and satinwood as a secondary material based on a microanalysis performed prior to 2005.
