This double chair buggy seat has woven cane seats. The seat has 6 slats, 3 on each side; three 20.5" uprights, flat front surface and cone turnings. The chair's two turned arm rests are cylindrical with fat centers and thin outers. This rare double chair was probably made in the 1930s and is attributed to Shadrach Birdic "Birdie" Mace of Madison County, North Carolina. Mace, a third generation chair-maker, usually signed his name S.B. Mace, and was also known as Shadrick Mace, Birdie Mace, and Birdic Mace.

Mace, Shadrach Birdic, 1892-1973
