Erastus Grant
American, 1774 - 1865
Based on stylistic evidence and construction techniques, it is likely that Grant was probably trained in the Hartford, Connecticut, shop of Aaron Chapin (1753-1838). Grant was one of at least three known cabinetmakers working in Hartford in the 1790s, all of whom used the same unusual construction in their furniture. After completing his training in Hartford, Grant moved to Massachusetts to begin his cabinetmaking career.
