Étagère Shelves

Alexander Roux French

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 736

This Rococo Revival étagère has been dated on the basis of the label, which gives the address of Alexander Roux's shop as of 1850, when he moved into 481 Broadway. In 1857 he changed the firm's name to Roux and Company. Tables with virtually identical bases are owned by the Museum of The City of New York and the Thomas Gibbons house in Madison, New Jersey (now part of Drew University).
