Two Early American Ladder-Back Chairs

Delaware Valley or possibly Salem, North Carolina, late 18th century, mixed woods, the first a rocker with urn form finials, rush seat, front turned stretchers (43.5 x 23 x 31 in.); the second and armchair in old red paint with turned finials, splint oak seat, turned stretcher base (45 x 24 x 22 in.).

Both in old, likely original surface with expected wear; both with later seats.
