A Rare American Aesthetic Cherrywood Hall Chair, late 19th c., attributed to Herter Bros., New York, arched spindled crest rail, blocked and ring-turned stiles, padded back, spindled seat rail, turned legs, casters. Note: The use of cherrywood, a sophisticated Aesthetic design, and a number of construction details on this chair are indicative of the Herter firm. The finely reeded stretchers and turnings are similar to those on a suite of oak side chairs at the Vanderbilt Mansion Historic Site, Hyde Park, New York. The numbered casters on this chair are sourced from New York's India Rubber Comb Company, a firm contemporaneous to Herter, whose wares are seen often on Herter tables and chairs. Reference: Howe, et al. Herter Brothers, Furniture and Interiors for a Gilded Age. p. 170, fig 21 and p. 123, figs. 108-109.
