Windsor Chair and Large Turkey Print

I love this windsor chair, copper planter and the turkey print too. The interior millwork is stunning, isn't it? This idea of hanging a piece of canvas instead of a framed print makes it easy to change the artwork with the seasons. via

The chair is an antique found by the interior designer, Douglas Herrin based out of Atlanta. Tour the entire home on Saint Simons Island, inside and out, HERE.

I have never seen a Windsor like that! Do you know anything else about it? I'm just curious...so please don't kill yourself to get the info...like you so generously do...I do collect them and have 3 wonderful pieces (one of which is an arrow back attributed to George Nickerson (the premier Windsor maker on Cape Cod which is where I live). The Nickersons are Mayflower people and have been well-known craftsmen for centuries.
Any info would be appreciated!
Thanks, Rosemary!

So beautiful, Rosemary! I couldn’t help but add it to my saved inspirations. I will say, though, I can’t help but imagine how beautiful that turkey would look in a gold gilt frame.

He Who Loves an Old House -- Tim, I agree that turkey deserves a great frame. Nice to "see" you again.

I agree with Tim, frame that turkey although the way it is now goes well with the more modern round table with the large ball feet. Windsor chairs are never out of style and can work with both traditional and contemporary decor. This entry is interesting and a real eye catcher.

Love the staircase and chair and everything. Didn't get a link to work, but did want to say that I'm intrigued by the unframed canvas idea. It would look different for every painting and every interior. Sure would be easier to store.
Speaking of birds, I wonder if you follow the Smithsonian Zoo. When I saw this post (www.instagram.com/p/B22oHwYngm3/) from them today of a lovely bluebird, I think I remember that you have bluebird boxes. Just thought you might be interested in this idea.
