介绍（中）	这把早期的联邦风格椅子带有盾牌靠背和雕刻的栏杆（结合了从威尔士亲王纹章徽章借来的三根羽毛）代表了 1790 年代在纽约市制造的流行形式。乔治·希普利是最早采用这种形式的纽约橱柜制造商之一，并展示了一把带有威尔士亲王羽毛背部的椅子，类似于他 3 月 15 日的例子， 1790年刊登在《纽约每日广告商》上的公告。这种威尔士亲王羽毛也出现在康涅狄格州制造的椅子上，而在罗德岛的例子中则较少见。底部的座椅栏杆上刻有铅笔铭文，上面写着"劳伦斯先生"，这证明了这把椅子是詹姆斯·劳伦斯上尉（1781-1813）家族的后裔。作为1812年战争的海军英雄，劳伦斯在他的船切萨皮克号在波士顿港与英国护卫舰香农交战时受了致命伤。劳伦斯太年轻，不可能是原主人，他可能通过继承或拍卖获得了这把椅子，它一定是更大系列的一部分。
介绍（英）	This early Federal-style chair with a shield back and carved bannister (that incorporates the three-feather plume borrowed from the heraldic crest of the Prince of Wales) represents a popular form made in New York City in the 1790s. George Shipley was among the earliest New York cabinetmakers to embrace the form and illustrated a chair with a Prince of Wales feather back similar to the example here in his March 15, 1790 announcement placed in the “New York Daily Advertiser”. Such Prince of Wales feathers are also found on chairs made in Connecticut, and less frequently on Rhode Island examples. The bottom seat rail bears a pencil inscription with the name, “Mr. Lawrence,” which supports the provenance that the chair descended in the family of Captain James Lawrence (1781-1813). A naval hero of the War of 1812, Lawrence was mortally wounded when his ship the USS Chesapeake engaged the British frigate Shannon in Boston Harbor. Too young to have been the original owner, Lawrence probably acquired this chair, which must have been part of a larger set, through inheritance or at auction.
