PROBABLY ANDREW AND ROBERT MCKIM, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, 1785-1795

This green painted Windsor writing armchair was likely made by Andrew and Robert McKim of Richmond, Virginia. This lot exhibits many similar features to a labeled McKim chair in the collection of the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts (acc. no. 3182) including the rod back with straight crest, the seat shape including the tab-like projection supporting the writing arm and bamboo-form stretchers. Another example attributed to the McKim brothers can be found in the collection of Colonial Williamsburg (acc. no. 1994-50).
