LUXURIOUS VICTORIAN J H BELTER FOUNTAIN ELMS. LAMINTATED ROEWOOD PARLOR SET. Attributed to John Henry Belter with confidence and references. Amazing attention to detail, Belter’s finest carvers exhibited all their skills while crafting this fine pattern known as the Fountain Elms. The large sofa displays a pierce carved crest rail surmounted by three magnificent crests of Spring Flowers and delicately carve Rose Buds with a single cluster of grapes on each side. The finely carved Rose Buds can also be found on the knee and the center of the amazing seat rail cluster of flowers and fruits. The chairs exhibit the same fine carvings with a floral cluster above a pierce carved border displaying finely carved acorns and leaves. Each crest cluster of flowers displays a single cluster of grapes on each side and the seat rails displays yet another fine cluster of carved flowers. The chairs are supported by cabriole legs and casters. The back of each chair is laminated rosewood. We have offered many fine Belter & Meeks parlor sets over the years and to date this is the most elaborately carved and considered the rarest yet of our many offerings. References include the reference book, American Furniture of the 19th Century 1840 – 1880 by Richard & Eileen Dubrow, pages 81, 109, andd 122 display some fine examples of the Belter Fountain Elms patter.
