This is the little chair that could, and it has captured our hearts. Its turn-of-the-century construction, elegant spindles, gorgeous wood grain, and original caning are about as traditional as early American furniture gets. Over the years it accumulated a few cracks that were repaired long ago; like all well-constructed items, though, it is just as sturdy as ever. After the loose joints were tightened and some gouges touched up, a good cleaning and some tung oil is all it took to restore the lustre of this handsome chair. After all these years, it still has plenty of life left as a side chair in your den or an accent chair in a bedroom.
