Rh  capital was moved to Richmond in 1782, helps place the date of this chair, although little else is known of the man. (Property of J. B. Watkins).

PLATE XI. . (Virginia—c. 1785). This Windsor chair shows the shaped top piece and the saddle seat. Mr. Pointer has been cited as having a partner, but no further information is to be offered, except that Crouch's Tavern is spoken of in Mordecai's Richmond of Bygone Days. (Property of G. F. Scheer).

PLATE XII. . (Virginia—c. 1790). This Windsor presents the label of Andrew and Robert McKimm, of Richmond, and is of a type all of which show heavy, turned spindles in the backs, but good saddle seats and well-turned legs. Robert McKimm is among those listed as a chair-maker in the first census of Richmond. Aside from the label on the chair, nothing further is known of Andrew McKimm. (Property of Mrs. A. G. Ryland).

PLATE XIII. . (Virginia—c. 1820). A late Windsor chair and rather crudely made. The turned, back supports and legs have what is known as bamboo turnings. This type of chair was made in great quantities. The labels in this, and in Plate XII, have been retouched to bring out the lettering. (Property of B. F. Powell).

PLATE XVI. . (Virginia—c. 1800-1810). A late Sheraton sofa with Empire influence. The style becomes heavier in these later pieces.
