An Important Ebonized Cherry Renaissance Revival Armchair, New York, possibly Herter Brothers, c.1870
This impressive upholstered armchair with dramatic lion head arms is reputed to have been

chair’s unnamed previous owner suggested that this was originally a part of the Red Room
furnishings during the Grant administration, and a brass plaque on the font seat real reads:
