Abstract (en)

Looks at the so-called "Tinkham" school of turned chairmaking in Plymouth County, MA. Contends that, rather than being the product of Ephraim Tinkham II alone, the extraordinary variety encompassed by the tradition is the cumulative achievement of four or five shops over perhaps 70 years, ca.1660-1730. Examples that have emerged over the past 20 years have expanded the repertoire of design and ornament as well as the probable date range of the Tinkham shop tradition; and the recent discovery of Netherlandish and New England antecedents has helped place these chairs in a broader cultural and stylistic context.
