Elderkin Chair: http://blog.mam.org/2010/11/14/from-the-collection-elderkin-great%C2%A0chair/

"The possible maker, John Elderkin, a house carpenter who came to America in 1637, may have based it on his knowledge of architectural building techniques. We see above drop finials on a 1720s Connecticut home that reflect the architectural styles popular in the 17th century. Below are similar drop finials on the 1683 Parson Capen House in Topfield, Massachusetts. The ornamental drops and finials on the Great Chair match this bold decoration very closely."
