Cane side chair

British

Not on view

This English-made side chair was originally part of a set of six that may have belonged to the Reverend Samuel Browne (d. 1749) of Abington, Massachusetts. The chair switched hands and families many times over the next several generations until it was bought by H. Eugene Bolles, whose collection of American furniture was considered the finest of its kind. In 1909, Mrs. Russell Sage purchased the Bolles collection and gifted it to the Museum.
