Ropero

1875–1883
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 743
La empresa neoyorquina de los hermanos Gustave y Christian Herter, inmigrantes de origen germano, produjo muebles de lujo y decoración de interiores para clientes acaudalados durante la época de prosperidad denominada Gilded Age (edad dorada). La empresa trabajaba en una variedad de estilos, entre ellos el reformista y el anglo-japonés popularizados por el arquitecto británico E. W. Godwin. Ambos estilos se combinan en este ropero cuya superficie ebonizada y marquetería dorada de flores y hojas de crisantemo estilizadas son reminiscentes de la laca japonesa; el fondo de un negro intenso bajo las flores que caen refleja principios decorativos asiáticos.
