Chippendale Chair 4-Cent Definitive Stamp Now On Sale
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Postal Service is today reissuing the Chippendale Chair 4-cent definitive stamp in one design in a water-activated gum coil of 10,000 stamps.
Chippendale Chair, the fourth stamp in the American Design series, was first issued on March 5, 2004. This 4-cent definitive stamp features a stylized treatment of a Chippendale chair made in Philadelphia between 1760 and 1765. The artist, the late Lou Nolan, based his design on a Chippendale side chair, or chair without arms. The colors he used for the wood and seat cover give the stamp design a contemporary feel. Derry Noyes was the art director.
