Marcotte in about 1856. 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 upholstered armchair with its gently curved back is based on a late Louis XVI fauteuil en cabriolet. The mahogany frame is attributed to a Philadelphia cabinetmaker; the French-style upholstery may be by George Bertault, who advertised himself in a Philadelphia newspaper in 1793 as an "upholsterer from Paris." The original upholstery foundations survive beneath the modern cover fabric; the crisp, squared shape of the front seat and chair back, which follows the outline of the frame, was called a "French edge."

Schastey & Co. to decorate her townhouse at 4 West Fifty-Fourth Street in New York City. The resulting artistic interiors would have been considered the height of cosmopolitan style in the early 1880s and were emblematic of Worsham's quest to fashion her identity as a wealthy, prominent woman of taste. When Worsham married Huntington in 1884, she sold the house, fully furnished, to John D. and Laura Spelman Rockefeller, who made few subsequent changes to the decorations. Following Mr. Rockefeller's death, the house was demolished in 1938, yet some furnishings, large-scale architectural elements, andArmchair (one of a pair) ca. 1725 Tapestry woven at Savonnerie Manufactory.
