Slipper Chair, ca. 1855, Made in New York, New York, United States, American, Rosewood, ash, 44 1/4 x 17 1/2 x 16 1/2 in. ( x x cm), Furniture, John H. Belter (1804–1863), This chair, intricately carved with grapes on the vine, is a delightfully fanciful example of the Rococo Revival style. Such furniture was described at the time it was made as being in 'the modern French style' because it borrowed elements from the eighteenth-century Rococo, such as curvaceous cabriole legs, strong C- and S-curves and scrolls, and the extravagant use of carved naturalistic ornament
