I made this chair in 2017 while teaching a class at the Kansas City Woodworker's Guild.  This chair was based on the Hollingsworth Chair sold most recently at Sotheby's in April of 2023.  Photos fro the Chipstone Digital Database and a visit to a similar chair at the Philadelphia Museum of Art were invaluable.
