- Notes: Note: Following the fashion for furniture in the late 18th c. taste from Napoleon III, New York cabinet makers such as Pottier and Stymus and Herter Brothers produced Louis XVI forms with Renaissance Revival interpretations such as those seen in this lot The four digit stamped number on the drawer side of this table is indicative of Pottier and Stymus. A report from the 1876 Philadelphia Exibition states that Pottier and Stymus tracked each article made with a four or five digit number (see Kristin Herron, "The Modern Gothic Furniture of Pottier and Stymus", Magazine Antiques, May 1999, p. 765).
