So successful and well known was Deshler that “Ashonest as David Deshler,” was a Philadelphia saying in the late 18th century.Deshler arrived in Philadelphia from Baden, Germany in 1733 to work withhis uncle John Wister. He married Mary Lefevre, from a prominent Huguenotfamily, in 1739 and built a home on High Street between 2nd and 3rd inPhiladelphia. In 1751, Deshler bought land in Germantown and built asummer house there. Between 1772-1773, he dramatically improved theGermantown house creating one of the finest homes in the area. During theBattle of Germantown, the house was used by British General Howe as acommand center and many of Deshler’s furnishings were damaged. Thesechairs were likely purchased to replace an earlier, ruined set . At Deshler’sdeath, in 1792, the house was sold to Revolutionary Colonel, Isaac Franks.Col. Franks rented the house to President George Washington and his familyduring the yellow fever epidemic of 1793, and during the summer of 1794.These Presidential occupations garnered the title “GermantownWhitehouse” for the Deshler home. The chairs have descended in theDeshler family to the present owner.$10,000-15,000
