"Fancy" chairs, also known as
Hitchcock chairs, were the Model
T of chairs in the early 19th
century. These mass-produced
chairs gave middle class families
the luxury of attractive, uniform
seating for guests. The chairs took
their name from the Fancy era of
American decorative arts. Visual
exuberance and imagination were
hallmarks of the new democracy. Everyday objects were
decorated with bold patterns, brilliant colors and animated forms.
The best-known fancy chairs were produced by Lambert Hitchcock
in Connecticut from 1825 to 1852.
