Suite of Eight Federal-Style Mahogany Dining Chairs in the Hepplewhite Taste, seven sidechairs and a similar armchair, each with a shell-form back with fan inlay at the base, serpentine seat, and tapered legs joined by box stretchers, h. 38-3/4". These are bench-made copies of original chairs by Stone & Alexander, Boston, ca. 1790-1795, see Montgomery, American Furniture of the Federal Period, plate 31, pp. 86-87.

In good, serviceable condition. All chairs are tight and sturdy. All exhibit normal mars, wear and abrasions consistent with age and use. One sidechair exhibits a splice of wood on its crest rail. There is some difference in proportions of the chairs. The seat upholstery of several chairs exhibit water stains. The finish is lighter on the armchair than the others.
