#5411. An ebonized side chair attributed to either the firm of Pottier & Stymus or Herter Bros. Circa 1880. H.34.5", W.17.5", D.16.5". Incised numbers on the underside: " 48372". Design elements in this chair are similar in spirit to one pictured in an article written by Brian J. Lang "The Art of Seating 200 Years of American Design" an exhibition at the Colombia Museum of Art, South Carolina. "For their more elaborate chair commissions, the Herter Brothers utilized a basic frame design, which could be embellished in any number of stylistic variations. This formula is perfectly illustrated in their circa 1880 side chair which incorporates a variety of artistic styles drawm from the Romanesque, Anglo-Japanese and Reform Gothic design vocabularies. This chair made of ebonized cherry with detailed inlay features a colonnade of Moorish or Romanesque-style arches..." Price: $2,500.00.
