Descripción

Klismos form sidechair made in New York with ebonized and gilded wood. Set of 12 chairs that belonged to the Jumels. It is likely that Eliza Jumel commissioned Scottish-American cabinet maker Duncan Phyfe (1768 – 1854) to design a suite of furniture for the Mansion’s Octagon Room circa 1825. Phyfe was the leading furnituremaker in the United States in the 19th century.
