John Henry Belter American
 or J. H. Belter & Co.

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 736

John Belter wird bereits seit Langem als einer der bedeutendsten Fertiger luxuriöser Möbel im wiederbelebten Rokokostil des Amerikas des 19. Jhds. angesehen. Er erwarb sich einen internationalen Ruf für die Zeichenzimmermöbel, die er herstellte, viele aus laminiertem und reich beschnitztem Palisander. Er war ein produktiver Tischler und seinem New Yorker Geschäft wird eine große Menge an Möbeln zugeschrieben. Belters üppige Zeichenzimmersofas, die mit Bouquets naturalistische Blüten verziert sind, stehen beispielhaft für die besten Arbeiten aus seiner Hand.
