Lot 187
An American Aesthetic Carved Walnut Dressing Table, c. 1870-80, Herter Bros., New York, rectangular molded lift top enclosing beveled mirror plate, and satinwood fitted compartments, over long drawer, ring-turned and blocked legs, conforming stretchers, outswept brass feet, height 28 1/2 in., width 26 in., depth 18 in Note: Several elements on this dressing table relate to known Herter examples. The escutcheons are identical to one on a desk made for Jay Gould with Herter's 1882 bill of sale at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (acc. 69.146.3). The turned supports and stretchers are nearly identical to those on a side chair bearing the Herter impressed mark "4430", also at the Met (acc. 93.15). The incised stiles, drawer fronts and returns relate closely to those on a walnut dresser bearing the Herter stamp sold in these rooms December 4, 1993. Reference: Howe, et. al. Herter Brothers, Furniture and Interiors for a Gilded Age. pp. 193 and 196-197, figs. 33 and 35.
