The New York City chair makers were the first to produce the Continuous
Arm chair, circa 1790. It is believed to be the only eighteenth-century
Windsor design originated outside of Philadelphia. The arched back
pattern formed by the bow consists of a single piece of steam bent
wood that sweeps forward at either side of the seat to form the arms.
The seat is sculptured in the shield style with a tailpiece that allows
for two additional spindles to support the bow.
