A Set of Four Maple Queen Anne Chairs, Massachusetts, c.1770
These four chairs are not simply associated or related, but are in fact four from a set. They have chamfered rear legs which are a nice feature that these chairs don't always have, and a well-sculpted crook back form, which makes them quite comfortable. The front legs are beautifully sculpted, ending in pad feet, and all made stable through the robustly turned stretchers. Height: 40½ in. Width: 20 in.

A Small Mahogany Shaving Mirror with Stenciled Label Chilton, Massachusetts, c.1820

An Opulent Green Lacquer/Chinoiserie Mirror with Beveled Glass, China, 18th century
This mirror is clearly 18th century, including its original beveled glass. The oxidation on the mirror is most pleasing, and has aged well. The painting, figures, etc. are all original, with very minor touch up on some of the green, which is expected with age. The form of the mirror, with its beautiful scrolling, is reminiscent of a European dutch style and probably made for the European market. It is rare to come across these mirrors in such fine condition and one in this condition is...
