This is a reproduction federal lolling chair. It’s based on the one in the Kaufmann Collection. It is mahogany and ash covered with a silk and cotton damask. The upholstery was done by Joseph Karagezian of Pioneer Upholstery in Peabody, MA. This style of lolling char, or Martha Washington chair, is unique to America.

Eli,
Glad to see you posting pictures of your work! Welcome to Lumberjocks. Wow, I just saw this chair and your Pie-Crust Table Sunday on our pilgrimage to the Concord Museum. The photo does it justice, it is an amazing piece! You have great taste in upholstery.

Beautiful!!! The details are superb! It looks like you put a lot of work into that project! How many hours would you say that you put into it?

Thanks. The frame took me a few days. I’d think 30 hours would be enough. I didn’t do the upholstery on this one, so I don’t know how long that takes. I’m going to be working with this upholsterer to do another one this summer. I’d imagine about 3 more days for the upholstery.
