A pair of Jamaican windsor arm chairs, with great turnings, labelled on the seat by one of the owners, Samuel E. Payne, Montego Bay. Mahogany.
Purchased in the 1970's at Harmony House auction. Early to mid 19th C.
Due to their handmade nature, one of the chairs is slight smaller in scale than the other, typical of Jamaican windsors.

A beautiful 19th C. mahogany partners desk with and old leather top. These desks are getting harder and harder to find. Replaced brasses, and an early 20th C, 2" raising to the plinth base, to elevate the desk in height. 30"H 60"L 37"D.
I call this a set of 6, although the chairs vary in size and turnings,however they are all mahogany brace backs. I have yet to see a pair of Jamaican windsor chairs identical, to one another.

Tallest chair is 38"H 19.25W 17"D
Smallest chair is 34.5"H 20"W 17"D
