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

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 736

John Belter fait depuis longtemps figure de chef de file du néo-rococo, un style de mobilier chic du XIXe siècle destiné au marché du luxe des États-Unis. Belter accéda à la notoriété internationale grâce à ses meubles de salon, souvent faits de bois de rose lamellé et richement sculpté. Il fut un ébéniste prolifique, et nombre de meubles sont attribués à son atelier new-yorkais. Ses sofas aux formes exubérantes rehaussées de bouquets de fleurs d’esprit naturaliste représentent fort bien le meilleur de son œuvre.
