Durante o século XIX, John Belter foi um dos mais importantes criadores de mobiliário de estilo neorrococó para o mercado de luxo nos Estados Unidos. Adquiriu uma reputação internacional com seus conjuntos de móveis de salão, muitas vezes feitos de laminado de jacarandá e ricamente esculpidos. Carpinteiro prolífico, produziu muitos móveis em sua oficina em Nova Iorque, mas suas obras mais emblemáticas foram sofás de formas exuberantes, embelezados com ramos naturalistas.
