MEASUREMENTS - H 44" x W 21" x D 19.5" J.H BELTER & CO JOHN HENRY BELTER(NEW YORK, NY, 1846–1852)CA.1840'S-1850'S SLIPPER CHAIR$2895 FIRM THE CHAIR FEATURES A CARVED FLOWER CREST AND CARVED FLOWER SIDES. THE CHAIR IS A LAMINATED CARVED AMERICAN ROCOCO REVIVAL ROSEWOOD SLIPPER CHAIR. THE MATERIAL IS A DEEP VELVET FABRIC. Although Belters furniture was frequently copied by such competitors as Alexander Roux, Joseph Meeks, and Mitchell & Rammelsberg, Belter’s work is considered the finest of the period. He typically used six or more layers of rosewood (his competitors used three to six), and his carvings are finer. Belter furniture rarely comes on the market today and, unlike many antiques, has retained its value. A single chair in a rare, complex pattern may bring $20,000 or more. Belter (1804–1864) was a German immigrant who opened a cabinet shop in New York City in 1833. He patented processes for laminating paper-thin sheets of brittle rosewood with glue, steaming and pressing them into three-dimensional moulds that then were carved in fine detail. This allowed for strong furniture that still could be mass-produced. The laminated sheets were resistant to breakage, yet pliable enough to be intricately ornamented.
