My Herter-esque Chair

The Herter Brothers built beautiful furniture for the Rich and Famous in the late 1800's.

This chair, was influenced by one that was made for the drawing room of William H. Vanderbilts residence (nice Address!!) @ 640 Fifth Avenue,New York,NY.

created around -1881-1882

 

After seeing a chair of theirs in a show at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, in the '90's I created this chair & donated it>for sale @ The Celebrity Charity Auction, in Chicago.

I like the asymmetrical nature of this chair.
