Felicity's Windsor Writing Chair is associated with and pictured on the cover of the book, Felicity Learns a Lesson. It was introduced in 1991. After the Reading and Writing Lesson set retired in 2001, the quill pen and inkwell from that set were combined with the Windsor Writing Chair. The Windsor Writing Chair retired in 2008.
PC description: Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence while seated in a handsome writing chair like this one. The writing arm swings from side to side so Felicity can sit easily in her full gowns, Under the seat is a drawer that holds her writing supplies. An exquisite hardwood reproduction.
I have the Pre-Mattel version of this so mine didn't come with the inkwell and quill pen. The chair like all of Felicity's furniture is dark wood, it's lightweight, but surprisingly sturdy. Bigfoot crushed the arm on mine and it managed to survive mostly intact, it just has some cracks where he pushed it back together and they are hidden by the writing arm. The writing arm holds her Reading & Writing Lesson (after going back over my pictures I realised that I had leaned the hornbook on the leg of the chair so it won't hold all of it on the writing arm) or Tea Lesson on it nicely. The drawer underneath holds the Reading & Writing Lesson (including the inkwell on mine) in it for convenient storage, but mine sticks a bit when you try to open it. A
I made the felt blotter for the chair to match the one pictured on the 1991 Felicity Learns A Lesson cover out of 1/4 of a sheet of felt from Michaels.
