The Cleveland Museum of Art
Cleveland, United States

In the 1870s, the furniture made by the Herter firm was influenced by Japanese style, as seen in the marquetry at the top of this chair. It closely resembles one that was supplied for use in the Red Room of the White House in the redecoration of 1882–83.
