John DeWitt
John DeWitt worked in New York City from 1794 to 1799. The Windsor Style in America by Charles Santore lists DeWitt’s working at 38 Whitehall Street, 225 William Street, 47 Water Street and 442 Pearl Street. The book also notes that DeWitt “made Windsors for the Senate and Assembly rooms, Federal Hall, New York City.”
Most of DeWitt’s output involved Windsor bow-back side chairs and continuous-arm chairs, including brace-backs, according to American Cabinetmakers: Marked American Furniture, 1640-1940 by William C. Ketchum, Jr.
Ketchum also notes that DeWitt’s chairs have been found with paper labels and a branded mark, reflecting different periods of work.
