19th C. Brass Mounted Bamboo Easel from the Estate of Sir John Richardson

About the Item

This rare surviving Aesthetic Movement easel comes from the estate of the renowned Sir John Richardson and can be seen in the book published regarding his homes and life. Crafted by the firm Ferguson Brothers of New York which was established in 1892 and moved to Hoboken in 1900.. The firm is known for manufacturing many forms of furniture and interior appointments. The metal work on this item is listed as being patented by the firm of James W. Campbell of German-town New York. This was a successful long distance collaboration noted in many patent records assigned to both companies both working in the aesthetic movement style as well a later popular styles. Sir John Richardson was the recorded Picasso expert based on his life long association with the artist and the production of his massive multi volume bibliography and cataloging of his works. This easel moved from his Connecticut home to his storied massive art filled New York apartment.
