英语词汇hitchcock chairs的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Hitchcock chairs. Hitchcock chairs were so well made that they have become collector’s items even though they were originally mass-produced in 1818. Lambert H. Hitchcock (1795–1852) established a factory in Barkhamsted, Connecti- cut, where some 100 employees turned out his product. Hitch- cock chairs came in a variety of designs and sizes, but were characterized by strong legs, curved-top backs, and seats (ini- tially rush-bottomed) that were wider in front than in the back. The chair maker won such renown that Barkhamsted re- named itself Hitchcocksville in his honor, although the town changed its name again to Riverton in 1866. The sturdy chairs, all identified by Hitchcock’s signature stenciled on the back edge of the seat, include the first rocking chair designed and made as such—i.e., not made by just adding rockers to a regu- lar chair.
