Literature
K. Howe, A. C. Frelinghuysen and C. H. Voorsanger, 'Herter Brothers: Furniture and Interiors for a Gilded Age', New York, 1994, p. 161 (example of the model shown in situ in the Thurlow Lodge, Menlo Park, California in 1874)

This chair, conceived in the exotic Anglo-Japanese style, is identical to a chair placed in the music room of Thurlow Lodge, Milton Slocum Latham's residence, Menlo Park, California in 1872-3. The chair appears to be found in two slight variations. Like the Thurlow Lodge chair, the present chair has the upholstered toprail (in the 'voyeuse' chair style). Whereas, of the small number of other known 'identical' chairs some have a crest to the toprail.
