This is a  wonderful, early example of a country Queen Anne fiddle back side chair.  It has a simple, yet elegant, curved crest with a lovely pronounced fiddle-back, on boldly turned posts that end in straight legs.  The single front stretcher and the front legs also have beautiful bold rurnings , with the legs ending in thick pad feet.  The rush seat is quite early, but probably not original. New York State, probably Hudson River Valley. origin.  Ca. 1750-1790.  Measuring 39" tall with a seat height of 16-3/4".  Maple and chestnut.  (seat worn, but still usable).  A beautiful and early country side chair!  For a somewhat similar example see
