The John Bartram Philadelphia comb back Windsor armchair, possibly from the workshop of Thomas Gilpin, ca. 1750, with an unusually high back with a peaked crest rail decorated with a painted image of Saint Peter, patron saint of fishermen. According to the family, this chair, a copy of the State in Schuylkill president's chair, was given to John Bartram by the club as a token of friendship because he allowed members free access to his shore line. Seat height - 14 3/4". Seat depth - 15 1/2". Overall height - 55 3/4" h. Width - 25 5/8". Loss to feet. Overall very good condition.
