Definitions for "Hitchcock"
The Hitchcock chair is an American type, 1820-1850, named after Lambert Hitchcock of Connecticut. The typical form derives from a Sheraton "fancy" Chair, and has a typical "pillow back" or oval turned top rail, straight-turned front legs, a ruch or caned seat enclosed in thin wood strips. Most often these were painted to simulate rosewood, with a unique powered-gold stencil of fruit and flowers.
