There is a homemade tag on the bottom of one (remnants on all the others) that reads "one of six chairs belonging to Mrs. S.W. Corman, 9 Rittenhouse Rd." Corman was in advertising who turned to development. In 1928 he and wife Anna M. Corman moved into the newly completed house at 9 Rittenhouse Road. The house was constructed as part of the Corwood development abutting the Siwanoy Country Club and west of the downtown of Bronxville, NY. Corwood was a project of the Corlando Corporation, which had S. Wilbur Corman as its president.

These Jacobean Revival chairs are truly fabulous! Thanks to @brownstoner for capturing the elegance and history of the socialite who chose these for what must have been real bougie dinner parties in Golden Age Bronxville.
