Very Fine and Rare American Rococo Revival Carved Rosewood Center Table, mid-19th c., attr. to John Henry Belter, New York, distinctive undulating white marble top, highly carved frieze centered by portrait busts, lion's mask corners, scrolling vines, crouching winged figural supports, paw feet, casters, h. 29 in., w. 46 1/2 in., d. 31 in. Note: This exceptionally rare and unique table, colloquially known by the collector as the “Jenny Lind” table, is a stunning example of New York cabinetmaker John Henry Belter’s use of figural carvings. Belter, most known for elaborate floral and foliate motifs in his Rococo revival furniture, occasionally incorporated human figures, such as in a well-known group of side chairs with crest rails surmounted by busts of Shakespeare, Chaucer, Dante, and Vergil, and a related sofa with busts of Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and Benjamin Franklin. A close comparison of the winged figural supports and the female busts centering the frieze on the table offered here to other Belter busts, such as those previously mentioned, display similar stylized features and proportions that relate to Belter’s overall work. The female busts centering the frieze of this circa 1850s table are purported to be modeled after 19th century singing sensation Jenny Lind, featuring Lind’s signature hairstyle. The Swedish-born singer became one of the most famous women of the period after entertainment entrepreneur P.T. Barnum booked Lind, already a rising star, on a nationwide tour of the U.S. that was immensely successful and skyrocketed Lind to stardom by 1850. In 1848, P.T. Barnum built an extravagant home in Bridgeport, Connecticut named “Iranistan,”, which was furnished by the best New York City cabinetmakers. It is a possible scenario that Belter had both Barnum and Lind, who was at the height of her popularity, in mind when he created this magnificent table. Ref.: Dubrow, Eileen and Richard.

Lot 435
Fine American Carved Rosewood Dressing Chest, c. 1850-1860, probably John Henry Belter, New York, arched foliate-carved mirror, leaf and vine carved support, marble top, canted stiles, four with applied carving, graduated drawers, conforming disc feet, h. 86 1/2 in., w. 50 in., d. 23 in. Note: The stylish dressing chest offered here is related to dressing chests by New York cabinetmaker John Henry Belter. The form of the lower case and scrolled elements mounting the face of the drawers are comparable to a dressing chest held in the collection of the Brooklyn Museum. The intricately pierced surround on the mirror is related to a Belter sofa from the Dubrow collection with a similar unlaminated carved scrolling motif. The surround also features carved roses like those seen on Belter’s “Rosalie” pattern étagères and seated furniture. Ref.: Dubrow, Eileen and Richard. American Furniture of the American 19th Century. Schiffer: Pennsylvania, 1983, pp. 84, 120-121, 146, 154.
Lot 447
Very Rare American Rococo Carved and Laminated Rosewood Sofa, c. 1850-1860, attr. to John Henry Belter, New York, related to the well-known collected examples of the "Tuthill King" pattern; reticulated grape and vine triple crest surmounted by foliage and flower filled baskets, arms, conforming seat rail, rose carved cabriole legs, scrolled toes, casters, h. 46 1/2 in., w. 77 in., d. 26 in. Note: This very rare and elegant example of John Henry Belter’s early work features beautifully carved applied crests and a distinctively carved grape and foliate pierced crest rail. The C-scroll pattern along the crest rail is a close match to known examples of Belter’s “Tuthill King” pattern, originally made for the King family home on South Michigan Avenue in Chicago. The highly prized Tuthill King group of Belter furniture is illustrated by Eileen and Richard Dubrow in American Furniture of the 19th Century: 1840-1880 (p. 105).
Lot 88
Rare American Rococo Carved and Laminated Rosewood Sofa, c. 1850-1860, attr. to the "Bird Pattern" maker, New York, serpentine back, intricately carved crest centered by a pair of birds with roses, conforming acanthine seat rail, cabriole legs, casters, h. 49 1/4 in., w. 73 in., d. 28 in. Note: The dramatic reticulation of the crest rail, carved opposing birds on the central crest, use of sophisticated seven-layer laminated construction, shape of the rear legs, and the molded form of the arm supports, seat rail, and front legs of this sofa are all indicative of “Bird Pattern” examples of seated furniture made in New York City during the mid-19th century. Ref.: “Bird Pattern” examples include an arm chair illustrated in Dubrow, American Furniture of the 19th Century., p. 95 and a closely related parlor suite sold in these rooms, Oct. 6, 2007, as lot 274.
