A Pilgrim Slat-back armchair with turned arm supports instead of the flat drawknifed supports of the previous chair. I began making this style in 1978, and to the present. Rutland County, Vt.

There are Dutch slat-back chair examples from the 1500's but without a curved back. There are a relatively small number of slat-back armchairs extant from the 17th century, a very good and comfortable design?
