Footnotes

The design of this bench epitomizes Herter's Anglo-Japanese style of the late 1870s. Similar in conception to the pair of armchairs, lot 37, the side cabinet, lot 157, and the fire-screen, lot 30, this bench includes several elements of their known vocabulary, the stylized lion's masks supporting the rectangular brass rings, the polychrome floral side panels and gilt incised lines are all identifiable motifs associated with Herter's Japonesque style from this period.
