Lot 884
Description:
An American Aesthetic Carved Cherrywood Writing Table, late 19th c., attributed to Herter Bros., New York, top with inset leather, carved frieze drawer on one side, floral-carved tablets, blocked and turned legs connected by spindled stretchers, height 30 in., width 41 1/8 in., depth 23 5/8 in.
- Literature: Reference: Howe, Frelinghuysen, Voorsanger. Herter Brothers, Furniture and Interiors for a Gilded Age, p. 150, fig. 11.
- Notes: Note: The turned spindles on this library table are very similar to those on a library table bearing the Herter Brothers stamp sold by Neal Auction Company as lot 458 in September 1995. The scrolled apron is clearly related to that on a cabinet, also stamped Herter Brothers, sold in these rooms as lot 631, February 1993. The India rubber casters found on this table are similar to those found on other furniture made by Herter Brothers, notably a side chair made for Happy House, the Darius Ogden Mills residence in Millbrae, California.
