Description: Matched set of four laminated rosewood side chairs by J. & J.
Meeks, NYC. Similar chairs are shown on pages 98 and 99 in "American
Furniture of the 19th Century" by Eileen and Richard Dubrow. They appear to
be a variation of the Hawkins pattern without the grapes. They feature
floral carved crests and open carved frames. One of the chairs has replaced
casters on the front cabriole shaped legs. The fabric is old with some
stains. The Hawkins pattern is one of the most elegant patterns
made by the Meeks firm. These chairs are in the fine original condition
that collectors prize.
