Lot 528
A Fine American Neo-Grec Gilt Bronze-Mounted, Ebonized, Gilt Decorated and Inlaid Rosewood Parlor Cabinet, c. 1870, Pottier & Stymus, New York, bronze mounts marked and numbered "4738", reverse of cabinet numbered "4738", stepped shaped top, conforming case fitted with two paneled doors centering bronze plaques, birdseye maple shelf interior, fluted and blocked uprights, plinth base, height 51 in., width 55 1/2 in., depth 22 3/4 in. Note: The sophisticated design of this cabinet incorporates a theme of marital fidelity and domestic harmony. The two large plaques on the doors depict Penelope attending her weaving while awaiting the return of her husband and Ulysses seated with his devoted hound. The bronze plaques are likely from Pierre E. Guerin (1843-1911), who established his New York foundry in 1864 providing mounts for renowned cabinet makers such as Leon Marcotte and Pottier & Stymus. A cabinet with "Penelope" plaques marked "Gúerin" related to those here was offered by Neal Auction Company as lot 81, September 10, 2011. An important rosewood parlor cabinet with collared stiles and bust mounts marked "P&S" very similar to those placed on this cabinet was sold by Neal Auction Company as lot 742, May 1993. The use of a four and five-digit numbering system by Pottier & Stymus before 1888 is well-known and documented in Kristin Herrons` article on Glenmont, the Thomas Edison Residence in West Orange, New Jersey. The digits on a Pottier & Stymus example could be impressed, stenciled, or inscribed in ink, as seen here. Herron notes that the numbers were probably assigned chronologically, low digits, an "3924" on an Egyptian Revival chair at the Metropolitan Museum of Art dates from 1870, an1882 wardrobe at Glenmont is marked with a higher number "66595". The inked number on this cabinet, "4736," indicates manufacture in the early 1870s. An 1888 fire in the manufactory destroyed the firms` records, and probably terminated use of the numbers in subsequent work from Pottier & Stymus. Reference: Laux, Barbara.
