Traditional American Ladder Back Chair
A Tall, Timeless Ladder Back Chair Built for the Dining Table
The Martha Washington Chair preserves the character of a traditional ladder back dining chair while adding carefully curved back slats for more comfortable everyday seating. Its tall 44 1/2" back, traditional interlocking joinery, and choice of four distinctive seat styles make it a versatile chair for dining rooms, kitchens, gathering tables, restaurants, and other spaces where classic American furniture feels at home.
Traditional Ladder Back Character
The tall ladder back gives the Martha Washington Chair a distinctive traditional profile that works especially well around farmhouse, country, colonial, and classic dining tables.
Curved for Better Back Support
The back slats are carefully curved rather than left flat, creating more natural contact with the back and a more comfortable sitting position during meals and long conversations around the table.
Traditional Interlocking Joinery
Interlocking joinery and swelled joint construction create strong wood connections without relying on glue, carrying forward time tested American chair making techniques designed for regular use.
Four Distinct Seat Styles
Choose a slatted double scoop seat, solid wood seat, seagrass, or paper cord to create the combination of comfort, texture, and traditional character that best fits your dining space.

Martha Washington Chair (TC-#17)
Have had these chairs about a month. Love them. Comfortable to sit in. Sturdy. Well made. Very pleased with the stain color. Would purchase again but probably won't need to as these will last a long time! Received chairs well before the estimated time of arrival. Whole process was flawless.
