See Hurst/Prown, Southern Furniture, 1680-1830, pp. 171-173, for two additional McKim writing chairs, one of which is labeled, as well as a discussion of the chair offered here. 2. Published The Magazine Antiques, "Windsor Chairs At Williams College," November 1944, p. 269, fig. 11. Provenance: William Wirt (1772-1834), original owner. To Dr. William Wirt, Jr. (1817-1898), builder of Wirtland, Westmoreland, Co., VA. To William Dabney Wirt (1857-1930). Acquired by Philip Flayderman, 1929. American Art Association, New York City, Auction of the Flayderman Collection, 1930, lot #484. The Collection of Charles Milton Davenport. Bequeathed to The Lawrence Art Museum, Williams College, Williamstown, MA, 1943. Note: William Wirt was born in Maryland in 1772. He studied law and in 1792 was admitted to the Virginia Bar in Richmond where he undoubtedly acquired his writing chair. He served as Clerk of the Virginia House of Delegates and chancellor of the Eastern District of Virginia before being asked by Thomas Jefferson to serve as prosecutor at Aaron Burr's 1807 treason trial. In 1817, President James Monroe named Wirt Attorney General of the United States, a position he occupied until 1829. His 12-year tenure as Attorney General is the longest in U.S. history. Although Wirt held numerous other important positions throughout his career, his 1832 bid for President was unsuccessful. Wirt was also a well respected author and was regarded for many years as the "chief man of letters of the South." Family tradition indicates that he wrote "Letters of the British Spy" (1803) on this writing chair. An extensive group of research material accompanies this lot, including a copy of the Magazine Antiques referenced above and a copy of the affidavit of ownership from William Dabney Wirt.

In the MESDA article, Anne McPherson notes that a "Side Board Sugar Chest" was included in the 1825 inventory and account sales of the estate of Nashville cabinetmaker James B. Houston. The sugar chest offered here is from the same shop as lot #1336 in this auction, which is closely related to two chests (figs. 276 and 278) and a secretary (fig. 75) illustrated by Williams and Harsh in The Art and Mystery of Tennessee Furniture.

Note: This monumental Wythe Co. safe cupboard is previously unrecorded and seemingly unique. While furniture with punched tins is traditionally associated with the kitchen and dining room areas, it seems reasonable to speculate that this cupboard might have functioned as a storage for linens or bed covers.
