Side Chair
Attributed to William Buttre (1782-1864)
Albany, New York
Painted ash, beech, tulip and rush, 1815-18
AIHA Collection (Kohn Fund)

The opening of the Erie Canal in 1825 signaled the beginning of a century of growth for Albany as a center of trade, manufacturing, and population in upstate New York. Like other communities in the region, Albany also became part of an expanding American market for consumer goods. Scottish-born William Buttre originally settled in New York City, where he found work in cabinetmaking but by 1815, had settled in Albany and operated a shop there as well as one in New York City.

Buttre specialized in the manufacture of "fancy chairs." Painted "fancy" furniture in many styles, forms and finishes satisfied a growing American hunger for consumer goods. Made in large numbers in New York and other American cities after 1800, it was inspired by furniture from ancient Greece and Rome. Interest in these chairs reflected rising nationalism, growing disposable cash income, and demand for the latest fashions. Easy to manufacture and relatively inexpensive, fancy chairs were popular among people of all social and economic classes.

Only three other chairs of this kind are known to exist and all four chairs are from the same set; two are at Winterthur and one is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

CENSUS INFORMATION -
Based on information that Wm. Buttre immigrated in 1802 and beginning with the 1810 census the following information has been gleaned from records.

There are three William Buttre (Butter/Butter) in New York in 1810.
1. Residence/Phillips, Dutchess Co., New York shows only one male aged 45 or older; which would be too old based on date of birth.
2. Residence/New York, New York, Ward 10 shows one male age 16-25, two females under 10, and one female 16-25 (too young based on date of birth)
3. Residence/New York, New York, Ward 5, census sheet does not have anyone marked down. ***1850 Census shows his age as 68 which would make his date of Birth as 1782 not 1772. Further research needed on older census reports.

1820 Census: Possibles include:
1. Homer, Cortland, one male under ten, one male between 26-45, one female under under ten, one female 16-26. One person in Manufacturing.
