<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 200934, member: 44"]I was surprised that Ethan Allen referred to this style chair in their supplement as fiddleback. I would have called them Windsor fan-back or like Brad said Windsor comb-back. Between you, me and the fence post, I haven really ever heard of a "Duxbury" chair. Wonder if Ethan Allen only made up a fantasy name of Duxbury. I'm not sure if the old town of Duxbury, MA (settled in the 1620s not far from Plymouth) may have been noted as a furniture making town? I do know Boston, Salem, Gardner, Manchester and a few others were noted for their early furniture.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
