Description American Aesthetic Movement Rosewood Cabinet, Attributed to Pottier & Stymus, New York ca. 1880-1882, adorned with mixed metal and wood inlay and shibayama plaques, in two parts, the upper section with a carved gallery over an inlaid floral basket flanked by leaves, vines and flora, over a mirror plate centering cupboard doors and a recessed mirror, all mirror plates with a beveled perimeter with holly leaf, vine and berry etching, the base with a figured onyx top over a projecting band of drawers, with drawers and open niches below, on carved paw feet atop scroll brackets, the cabinet mounted throughout with Meiji shibayama panels depicting common Japonesque motifs executed in silver, gold, mother-of-pearl and enameled inlay, the side panels of the upper and lower cases with raised panels with mixed metal banded inlay. h. 68-1/8", w. 49", d. 19-3/4" Notes: The designer's decision to employ shibayama plaques, and presumably design a case around them, is illustrative of both the contemporaneous fascination with Japonism as well as the tendency of firms like Pottier & Stymus or Herter Brothers to employ the finest, most costly materials in their commissioned pieces. An art form first introduced to the West at the Paris World Exposition in 1867, its popularity continued to consolidate after the Meiji Restoration of 1868. Many export works containing shibayama designs are associated with Yokohama, after this port city became a destination for craftsmen of the art. However, the panels we see here are more indicative of the smaller, delicate works crafted during the late Edo/early Meiji period, rather than the larger pieces produced out of Yokohama that were often designed to cater to the tastes of the Western market. The cabinet's production number of 60078 appears in several places on the piece. The sequential numbering system employed by the firm suggests the present cabinet dates to around 1881. The cabinet is also stenciled "photographed" along with the name "Bostwick". Pottier & Stymus is known to have marked other pieces with that designation, presumably indicating that pictures had been taken of the cabinet for inclusion in the folios of consignor's pieces in production. (The fate of those folios is unknown.) Jabez Abel Bostwick (1830-1892) was one of John D. Rockefeller's partners in Standard Oil. One of the eight officers who sat on the Standard Oil Trust, he served as Secretary-Treasurer. The trust controlled about 90% of the oil refining in the country until it was broken up in the early 20th century. Like other principals of Standard Oil including Rockefeller, Wallace C. Andrews and Henry Flagler, Bostwick commissioned the Pottier & Stymus firm for decorating and furniture (1). At least one earlier piece of P & S furniture marked "Bostwick" has surfaced, suggesting the firm provided furnishings for him on more than one occasion. In 1876, Bostwick erected a manse at 800 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. Given that firms such as Herter Brothers and Pottier & Stymus often took three to four years to fulfill their commissions, the present cabinet was probably designed for the new Fifth Avenue home. (1) The 1893 edition of King's Handbook of New York City includes an advertisement for Pottier & Stymus in which the firm states that "Among many of the richest and finest private residences in America that have been furnished by this company can be mentioned those of Henry M. Flagler, William Rockefeller, J. A. Bostwick, John D. Archibold, Wallace C. Andrews, Fred T. Steinway and M.C.D. Borden, of New York; George Westinghouse, Jr. of Pittsburgh and Lenox; Robert Pitcairn of Pittsburgh; William Williams, Myron P. Brush and William G. Fargo of Buffalo; Mark Hopkins, Leland Stanford, James Flood, Charles Crocker and Henry Crocker of San Francisco; Mrs. C. H. Strong of Erie, Pennsylvania and Mrs. N. Willis of Galveston, Texas".
