HISTORY:
"Fantasy Furniture" with "inexpensive fantasy design for a chair made about 1900 is now called "NORTH WIND". It looks like a typical oak side chair with a solid seat and sometimes turned legs. But the back is made with a carved man's or woman's face, sometimes with flowing hair. More ambitious designs have the full figure of a person climbing on top of the chair back. The best of the "NORTH WIND" chairs have a one-piece back made of solid wood. The carving was not an added piece of wood. Inexpensive chairs influenced by the "NORTH WIND" group were pressed-back chairs showing a face or a person. The design was pressed into the wood by a machine. It was not a raised carving.
