Description: Harvard University Windsor Chair VERITAS, Nichols And Stone - Local Pick Up TAMPA BAY This is a really beautiful HARVARD Chair, with very little wear or scratches. We love the story of how and why these Chairs made this way at Harvard!!!Originally, it was called "The Freshman Chair.” It served as a sturdy dining chair in the Freshman Dining Room, on the 1st floor of "College Commons,” the original name of Harvard's University Hall.Harvard freshmen waged fierce FOOD FIGHTS with the upperclassmen. When this resulted in broken dishes in 1818, one of the young perps, Ralph Waldo Emerson, was one of those students!Designed with unique cutouts allowing them to be pulled from the table, the chairs were fashioned by local craftsmen to outlast any students’ antics. Some of these great CHAIRS are proudly possessed by Harvard graduates throughout the world - in their homes, libraries & offices.
