<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 99546, member: 44&quot;]I&#039;m waiting for Brad to chime in on these chairs. Like Spring said, the Hitchcock company has been making these chairs from probably the mid 1800s to yesterday. As neither yours or mine are signed then are not authentic Hitchcock, but definitely in that style. I have 4 of these Hitchcock style side chairs with pillow/bolster top rails, turned front legs, turned front stretchers, rush seats unsigned. My chairs are not stenciled and never have been stenciled. My mother got these chairs in the 1940s. I don&#039;t know if they were new then or not. The only difference I can see between yours and mine is that your wide slat is flat/straight across on its top edge while the wide slat on mine peaks on the top edge like the following pic I&#039;ve have included.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan</p><p><br /></p><p>For educational purposes:</p><p><a href="http://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/hitchcock-armchair-very-early-classic-hitchcock-532-c-a2427a4a89" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/hitchcock-armchair-very-early-classic-hitchcock-532-c-a2427a4a89" rel="nofollow">http://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/hitchcock-armchair-very-early-classic-hitchcock-532-c-a2427a4a89</a></p><p><img src="http://image.invaluable.com/housePhotos/Thomaston/23/430123/H0134-L49612834.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
