Biographical History
Chairmaker; Ipswich, Massachusetts. Examples of his work at Winterthur Museum.
John Gaines II and Thomas Gaines were father and son chairmakers and turners of Ipswich, MA during the first half of the 18th century. They were also the father and brother of noted Portsmouth, NH chairmaker, John Gaines III. The Gaines family produced numerous types of chairs commonly found in colonial New England, but distinguished their work by the use of carved Spanish feet with a scroll at the side, the pierced form of the yoke-shaped cresting, and a particular design on the front and back stretchers.
