Spectacular Rococo Revival Meridienne/Recamier 'fainting couch' attributed to the American master cabinet maker John Henry Belter, who is widely considered to be the godfather of American Rococo Revival furniture of the highest quality. Many of Belter's pieces reside in museums, such as The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the V&A, so for a piece of this quality and exceptional stature to become available to the market is extremely rare. The deep carved cabriole legs, resplendent in C and S curves and scrolls, are incredibly detailed and complimented by the extravagant floral and clam shell decoration are simply beautiul. The deep buttoned high back undulating seat has been fully professionally reupholstered in a sumptuous Oatmeal Linen, as well as each of the over 100 deep set buttons. Lik
