Specializing in reproductions of 17th century furniture and woodwork
Stephen Jaques, the likely maker of the original upon which this reproduction is based, is a well documented joiner who lived in rural Newbury, Massachusetts during the latter part of the seventeenth century. Like his townsman John Emery, whose shop most likely made the Paine court cupboard, Jaques would not have worked exclusively as a joiner. Much of his time would have been devoted to his farming, and he is known to have performed carpentry work. A step up from simpler stool forms, joint stools were nonetheless a fairly common, utilitarian form of seat furniture. |
