This group of thinly laminated Rococo Revival furniture made in the United States in the mid nineteenth century is different in many ways from the furniture we know was made by John Henry Belter. Some experts believe some or all this furniture was made by Belter despite the differences. Some of the differences include round back legs, padded arm rests, square edges in the laminated backs rather than tapered edges, scrolling vines outline the laminated backs rather than arabesques, and the crests are typically vertical rather than horizontal in design. This furniture is very well made, but it just looks different that the furniture we know Belter made.

Most of the furniture in this group appears to have been made by the same unknown individual or manufacturer. There is a significant amount of this furniture still extant.
