H: 38 1/4 in. provenance: These chairs were owned by David Deshler ( 1771-1792) a wealthy hardware merchant, importer of East Indian and British goods and used in his Germantown home, now the historic Deshler-Morris House, operated by the National Park Service. So successful and well known was Deshler that “As honest as David Deshler,” was a Philadelphia saying in the late 18th century. Deshler arrived in Philadelphia from Baden, Germany in 1733 to work with his uncle John Wister. He married Mary Lefevre, from a prominent Huguenot family, in 1739 and built a home on High Street between 2nd and 3rd in Philadelphia. In 1751, Deshler bought land in Germantown and built a summer house there. Between 1772-1773, he dramatically improved the Germantown house creating one of the finest homes in the area. During the Battle of Germantown, the house was used by British General Howe as a command center and many of Deshler’s furnishings were damaged. These chairs were likely purchased to replace an earlier, ruined set . At Deshler’s death, in 1792, the house was sold to Revolutionary Colonel, Isaac Franks. Col. Franks rented the house to President George Washington and his family during the yellow fever epidemic of 1793, and during the summer of 1794. These Presidential occupations garnered the title “Germantown Whitehouse” for the Deshler home. The chairs have descended in the Deshler family to the present owner. $10,000-15,000
