CROMWELLIAN CHAIR
Cromwellian chairs were popular
in New England in about
1670-1700. They are "joined"
chairs, meaning that they were
mortised together like a table.
Chairs such as these were more
expensive than simple turned
chairs because they had to be
made by a joiner. The above chair
is made of West Virginia oak barn
wood.
