This 18th-century chess set was added to the decorative art collection after Montpelier's team uncovered tiny fragments of similar pawns in the South Yard.

They closely match pawns from types of sets sold during ca. 1780-1810, including this ‘Washington Pattern” set (named because George Washington owned one!)

An enslaved worker at Montpelier left his or her fingerprints on this brick.
The small size of fingerprints typically found on bricks suggests that women or children were among the enslaved brickmakers.
A number on the brick shows that it was the end of a day’s run.
