Kleiderschrank

1875–1883
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 743
Die New Yorker Firma der aus Deutschland ausgewanderten Brüder Gustave und Christian Herter produzierte Luxusmöbel und integrierte Interieurdesigns für Klienten des amerikanischen Gilded Ages. Sie arbeiteten in einer Vielzahl von Formen, darunter der britischen Designreform und anglo-japanischen Stilen, wie hier, die durch den britischen Architekten E. W. Godwin Bekanntheit erlangten. Die ebenierte Oberfläche dieses Kleiderschranks und seine goldene Marketerie aus stilisierten Chrysanthemenblüten und -blättern erinnern an japanische Lackarbeiten und die tiefschwarze Leere unter den herabfallenden Blüten befördert den Sinn von asiatischer Dekorationskunst noch weiter.
