Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. HERTER BROTHERS - FURNITURE AND INTERIORS FOR A GILDED AGE by Katherine Howe and others, Harry N. Abrams, Inc., 1994. The Herter brothers extraordinary accomplishments have never before been the subject of a book. Here is an in-depth study of these talented men, their company, and its work, prized then as now for its design, richness of materials and detail, superb craftsmanship, and splendid diversity. The best of the Herter Brothers furniture and interiors are displayed in 133 color and 167 black-and-white illustrations, including many close-up details as well as comparative work by rival fine cabinetmakers of the time in New York and Europe. This book tells the story of the company from its earliest manifestations, when Gustave worked with other partners and alone, through his partnership with his brother, to Christian s years as head of the firm and the end of his tenure. The book places the company firmly in its context, international as well as domestic, with an extensive discussion of the brothers background and influences and an absorbing narrative of the furniture and decoration trade in New York City in the latter half of the nineteenth century. This book also reviews superb work done by the firm for their wealthy patrons.
