Description
SIGNED "JACKSON & BRO.", NEW YORK CAST-IRON GARDEN BENCH / SETTEE, the rustic-style ends having branch-like frames with arms terminating in dog-head grips and legs in hoof feet, the back rest and seat of iron faux-wooden slats. Stamped "JACKSON & BRO" in small letters to proper left back support. Probably James L. Jackson & Bro., New York. Third quarter 19th century. 33" HOA, 15 1/4 x 30" seat.
Provenance: From an important Virginia private collection.
Purchased in the Richmond, VA area.
Catalogue Note: We could locate no other garden furniture bearing the Jackson mark. It is most likely for the ironworks of James Lander Jackson (1818-1888) and his brother Peter H. Jackson (1829-1908). They were partners from around 1852 to 1874 operating an "Iron Works and Foundry For Fine Castings" which occupied nearly an entire New York City block at Second Ave, Twenty-eighth, and Twenty-ninth streets. The multi-structure complex included two casting houses and a machine shop, and employed 250 men. Their output was principally exterior and interior architectural iron work for entire buildings and fronts, however, an advertisement from 1853 does illustrate a single garden chair, and another from 1859 shows a "Cast Iron Chair for Public Buildings".
