This is an amazing chair which came from the estate of Graham Claytor, a three generation Washintonian. He was secretary of the Navy under Carter, President of Southern Pacific RR and head of Amtrac RR's. He was a historian and lover of antiques. He was nominated "Virginian of the year" in 1977. This chair was a gift. I don't know the details. The chair has a primitive eagle and a crocked neck dove in the details. I believe it has a history. I date the chair 1st quarter of the 19th C. Not your usual plank bottom chair. It is as you want it with a dry, no refinished surface. Structurally it is very sound. This chair can be shipped. The chair measures 34"H X 19 1/2"W (the seat is 17W)
