The Drawing Room Antiques
# 4875x. A pair (2) of "American Renaissance" Style 19th century dining side chairs. Mahogany. Of the finest carving consistent with workmanship of Herter Bros. of New York City. Size: 38" tall with the seat 19" wide, deep and tall. Condition: original finish to the carved wood surface; re-upholstered at some time in the past. These chairs relates to The Crawford Library Table pictured on page 266 of "Art & Enterprise" American Decorative Arts, 1825-1917 The Virginia Carroll Crawford Collection published in 1999. As described, the library table " was found in Newport in the early 1980's, where it was reported to have come from a member of the Vanderbilt family." Price: $7,500.00 for the pair.
Pictured above are images from Art & Enterprise depicting the Crawford Library Table from Newport Rhode Island. We believe that these two items: the chair and the table were from the same New York City workshop and made for the same client in Newport.
