During the late Sheraton period, the Windsor chair reached its height in the evolution of design. This armchair reflects the beauty and style realized by the Windsor method of chairmaking.

Because the crest of this chair resembled the fancy cages of exotic birds, it received its nickname. Also, like the letterboxes in desks, it is sometimes called a dovecote.

Very quickly the increased need for supply caused shops to sacrifice detail for speed, resulting in what we lament in today's factory products. As Wallace Nutting pointed out, "The more machinery, the less in him who runs it."
