Description |
Mahogany Chippendale side chair was made in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, around 1775. This brown and cream-colored chair features a stylized Gothic splat. The front legs are straight. The front and back legs are connected by stretchers. The Ohio Historical Society received this side chair from Rufus King of New York, New York. This chair was donated during the restoration of Adena in the 1950s. The King family was related to the Worthington family by the 1816 marriage of Sarah Worthington (1800-1877), Thomas and Eleanor Worthington's second daughter, to Edward King, son of Rufus King, a senator from New York and a signer of the U.S. Constitution. The chair does not have a documented association to Adena or Sarah Worthington King Peter. Adena was the family estate of Thomas Worthington ((1773-1827), Ohio's sixth governor, who also served as a U.S. Senator and a member of the state assembly. |
