For sale is an antique Walter Corey signed, black-painted, plank seat, chair, with gold stripe accents similar to Hitchcock chairs. The gold leaf and vine stenciling on the crest rail is slightly faded (see picture). Sturdy and tight. Manufactured in Portland, ME, and dates between 1836-1866 when the factory burned to the ground in The Great Portland Fire. This was probably an earlier chair due to it's simplicity, before Walter Corey began the mass production, with machines driven by steam engines rather than a horse, producing fancier turned legs, spindles, struts, and shaped crest rails and splats. Asking $125 for this bit of history.
