A Tuthill King pattern armchair has descended
in the family of John Henry Belter. The
general appearance and construction of Tuthill
King pattern furniture and the descension
of a Tuthill King pattern armchair in Belter's
family make the attribution of this pattern
to Belter undisputable.
An article "John Henry Belter &
Company" written for the magazine ANTIQUES
by Joseph Downs (Curator of the American
wing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art,
New York City) in September, 1948, illustrates
the Tuthill King pattern armchair that descended
in the family of Belter's brother in law
and business partner William Springmeyer.
