Description:
An American Renaissance Carved Rosewood and Gilt Bronze-Mounted Side Chair, mid-19th c., attributed to Gustave Herter, New York, tall scrolled back, leaf-carved stiles with incised panels and bronze bosses, rounded seat rail with patera boss, turned legs, casters.
- Notes: Note: The blind fretwork, placement of bronze mounts and foliate carving on the stiles of this chair relate closely to details on seat furniture made by Gustave Herter c. 1860 for the Ruggles S. Morse residence in Portland Maine, a chair conserved by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and a pair of chairs associated with the Ames family of Massachusetts, now held privately. The spreading and scrolled back of this chair is a dramatic embellishment of the form used on the Herter commissions listed above. Reference: Howe, Frelinghuysen, Voorsanger. Herter Brothers, Furniture and Interiors for a Gilded Age. p. 132, fig. 3.
