Slipper Chairs by Pottier & Stymus, owned by Pierre Bergé
About the Item
One of the most prominent and largest American design and manufacturing firms of high quality furniture of the Victorian period, Pottier & Stymus produced furniture in the Neo-Greco, Renaissance Revival, Egyptian Revival, and Modern Gothic styles. The company supplied furniture to the President's office and the Cabinet Room in the White House in 1869, and for the homes of such well-to-do families as the Rockefellers and railway baron Leland Stanford. These luxurious American Renaissance walnut chairs are nearly identical to the single chair housed in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and are among the finest examples of 19th-century American furniture.
Pierre Bergé, the partner of iconic designer Yves Saint Laurent, has displayed impeccable taste throughout his life, most notably being the co-founder of the legendary Yves Saint Laurent fashion house. With Saint Laurent, he also created one of the grandest collections of quality art and antiques in the world. His New York apartment was testimony to his incredible eye for quality. His impressive collection of American art and furniture was second to none.
