- 43 1/2 in. H. x 23 1/2 in. x 17 in. Estimate $3,000-5,000
To the best of my knowledge, it is an American comb-back Windsor having carved knuckles, a fully developed saddle seat and early vase and ring turnings. Branded MANSFIELD--a Connecticut maker working during the last quarter of the 18th century. Paint is old but not original. Excellent overall condition. Provenance: Hanes and Ruskin Antiques.
