Windsor
Arm Chair - Sack Back
Of all Windsor chairs, the “Sack Back” is
by far the design most people associate with this type of chair. Produced
in Philadelphia after 1760, chair makers exported large quantities throughout
the Colonies. Benjamin Franklin sat in one while debating the Declaration
of Independence in 1776.

Chair - Continuous Arm
The continuous arm design is one of the great innovations
of American furniture. The style originated in New York City around 1790.
And, just like the 18th century craftsman did, one “continuous” piece
of wood is shaped to form the arms and the back. Hence the name “continuous
arm.”
