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

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 736

Durante el siglo XIX, John Belter fue uno de los más importantes creadores de mobiliario de estilo neorrococó para el mercado de lujo en los Estados Unidos. Adquirió una reputación internacional por sus conjuntos de muebles de salón, en muchos casos hechos de palisandro laminado y profusamente tallado. Prolífico ebanista, produjo muchos muebles en su taller de Nueva York, pero sus obras más emblemáticas son los sofás de formas exuberantes, embellecidos con ramos de flores naturalistas.
