Pair of 19th C American Windsor bentwood hoop back chairs with spindle turning and with solid dished seats, on ring turned legs joined by H-shaped stretchers. Made with mixed woods, the bentwood hoop is ash, and the seat appears to be elm with the legs and spindles being beech. Found in Massachusetts, these Windsor chairs were inspired in design by late 18th and early 19th examples that evolved in the Thames Valley region in England.
