Eastern North Carolina child's chair with three vertical slats, flanked by turned finials and stiles, with turned arms, later rush seat and turned legs and stretchers. Painted black. This chair is very similar to the child's rocker illustrated in the book "The Furniture of Coastal North Carolina, 1700-1820" by John Bivens, Jr., (Illustration 7.2, Page 383). Closer examination of the chair profile and paint exfoliation pattern with this example and the rocker illustrated in the book indicates the chair may be the same with rockers now removed and the feet tipped. 27" H x 13 3/4" W x 11 1/2" D. Early 18th century. CONDITION: Re-painted with contemporary rush seat. Overall general wear, some light wear to paint. Feet have been tipped approximately 2".
