Design: These are "Birdcage" style chairs, named for the distinctive rectangular horizontal slats at the top of the spindle back that resemble a cage.

Finish: They feature a classic two-tone finish: a black-painted maple frame with gold stenciled accents (often featuring floral or harvest motifs) and solid wood seats in a natural "harvest maple" finish.

Authentication: The "backwards N" in the stenciled signature ("L. HITCHCOCK. HITCHCOCKSVILLE. CONN. WARRANTED.") is a deliberate and well-known hallmark of authentic Hitchcock chairs, used to signify the company's traditional craftsmanship.
