. This armchair was made in China after a model that was popular in England at the end of the 18th century. The Chinese furniture-maker probably relied on a print as his source of inspiration. It was commissioned by Van Braam Houckgeest, whose initials are on the back of the chair.Chair (Netherlands); fruit wood and elmSide Chair (England); satinwood with painted decoration, ivory, caned seatArmstoel, anonymous, 1725 - 1750 Arm chair made of brown lacquered beech wood, with reeds stretched.

The shape of these chairs was common in the Neo-classical period in the Netherlands. At that time, it was usual for the decoration to be carved on the chair. In the case of these four chairs, however, the decora-tion is carried out in marquetry. This suggests that they were not made by a chairmaker, but rather by a cabinetmaker, who usually made cabinets, com-modes and other such furniture.Openwork side chair (one of a pair) ca. 1785-90 Georges Jacob Although French styles influenced the arts of other European countries, these unusual chairs illustrate that foreign fashions also had an impact in France. The openwork back splat and brackets between the legs clearly show an interest in the anglo-chinese style propagated by the British architect William Chambers in the third quarter of the eighteenth century. The duc de Penthièvre to whom Georges Jacob supplied this seat furniture, must have had a penchant for this style: in 1785 he acquired the chteau de Chanteloup where the duc de Choiseul, the previous owner, had created Chinese gardens and built a pagoda..

Vanderbilt's (1821-1885) house at 640 Fifth Avenue, New York. An iconography of bounty governed the room, drawn from Renaissance precedents as was popular during the period. The lush swag of flowers, nuts, and berries sculpted on the chairs crest rail was one of several such motifs unifying the rooms carved oak furnishings and paneling: contemporary photographs show that on either side of the built-in buffet pairs of plump putti held similar swags aloft. The legs and stretchers, however, bear no relationship to European precedents and distinguish this chair as one of Herter's most original designs. The stretcher is a complex composition of interlocking parts held in taut balance by equal forces of vertical and horizontal tension.

Culture: American. Dimensions: 32 3/4 x 17 5/16 x 18 3/16 in. (83.2 x 44 x 46.2 cm). Maker: Possibly from the Workshop of Duncan Phyfe (1770-1854); Duncan Phyfe & Sons (1837-1840, active New York). Date: ca. 1830.As craftsmen transitioned from the Early to the Late Grecian style (the latter is also referred to as the Grecian Plain Style), they began to incorporate more curvilinear shapes and new motifs. With a scrolled stay rail and an inverted lotus-shaped splat, this design is more abstract than the clearly delineated lyre-back chair attributed to Phyfe (65.188.2). This example is thought to come from Phyfe's shop based on the quality of the workmanship and a close stylistic connection to a set of chairs manufactured for Phyfe's daughter, Eliza Phyfe Vail (1801-1890).

Reporting to Empress Maria Theresa on March 18, 1777, the Austrian diplomat Florimond-Claude de Mercy-Argenteau declared: "The gambling of the Queen grows more and more unrestrained. The public know that the identical games, strictly prohibited to them by the laws of Paris, are played nightly and to excess by the Queen."1 To accommodate all those who might wish to participate in the play, a large set of furniture consisting of thirty side chairs, six voyeuses, or spectators' chairs, and a fire screen was ordered on August 12, 1786, for Louis XVI's Salon des Jeux (Gaming Room) at the Chateau de Fontainebleau.

This international firm had showrooms in both Paris and New York, and it is believed that at least some of the pieces of the suite were made in Paris for the New York commission. Johnston, a railroad executive and the first president of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, used the furniture in the music room of his residence at 8 Fifth Avenue. The suite (68.69.1-68.69.11, 68.165.1-68.165.6) includes two sofas, two armchairs, a table, two matching cabinets, a third large cabinet, six matching side chairs, a pair of lyre-back side chairs, and a firescreen.

This chair is an elegant example of the style of furniture made during the quarter century following the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815. During this period it was thought that a citizenís principal duty was to live a quiet life the home became a sanctuary where domestic values and family-centered activities were elevated and cherished. These virtues were exemplified in the popular press by a comic fictional character whose name, Biedermeier, eventually came to identify the period and its art. Biedermeier style began in courtly and aristocratic circles before becoming popular with the newly prosperous middle classes.Made in Vienna of native walnut, this side chair was designed to be comfortable, durable, easily portable, and adaptable to a variety of uses.
