This antique child’s ladder-back chair, dating from the mid-19th to early 20th century, showcases a classic Shaker-influenced design prized for its utility and simple aesthetic. It’s a two-slat ladder-back style with a finely woven seat, likely crafted from oak or reed in a herringbone or basket weave pattern. The chair features mortise-and-pegged construction with nails placed in various spots for added stability.
