EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the exquisite Library Table, created between 1879 and 1882 by the renowned Herter Brothers of New York. Crafted from rosewood, brass, mother-of-pearl, and abalone, this opulent piece was commissioned by William Henry Vanderbilt for his prestigious Fifth Avenue mansion in a bid to display his wealth and influence. At an impressive length of 152.4 centimeters, this table serves as the centerpiece of Vanderbilt's library. Its ornate design features palmettes, wreaths, lion paw feet, and intricate astrological symbols meticulously carved into its wooden surface. Notably, the table top depicts the stars at the exact moment of Vanderbilt's birth—a symbolic representation of his celestial significance. The craftsmanship displayed in this postcolonial masterpiece is truly remarkable. Every detail exudes luxury and power—testament to both American cabinetmaking expertise and Vanderbilt's status as one of America's most influential figures during that era. Today housed within the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this extraordinary Library Table continues to captivate viewers with its lavish beauty and historical significance. It stands as a testament to a bygone era when furniture was not merely functional but also served as an expression of wealth and prestige—an embodiment of artistry merged with utility.
