Possibly ELIPHALET CHAPIN or One of His Contemporaries.

A fine estate found Chippendale Side Chair in its original dry cherry surface. The crest rail has a bowed top with a rounded, roll-back treatment of its central arched section leading to carved ears. The crest flows downwards into pierced gothic splat.

Eliphalet Chapin, was a Connecticut native who is known to have served his apprenticeship in Philadelphia. The patterns of the back splat of this Connecticut chair and that of chairs made in Philadelphia have a great deal in common. The chair follows the Philadelphia practices closely and its similarity of design and the use of through tenons is in the same manner.

Chair displays good color and patina. Trivial wear commensurate with age and use (note bottom right leg).
