American Neo-Grec Marquetry-Inlaid and Bronze-Mounted Rosewood Cabinet, attributed to Pottier & Stymus, New York, ca. 1869-1870, the top centered by a raised plinth with incised lambrequins beneath the top, the case with an inlaid frieze over a door with an inlaid panel centered by a masque of a mythological personage, the concave sides with bronze plaques, the fluted pilasters with gilt decor, the verso numbered "3332" and with the letters presumably for the party that commissioned the piece "H.K.O.", h. 52-3/4", w. 61", d. 22". Pottier and Stymus employed a consecutive numbering system on their pieces starting about 1869. The number on this piece suggests origins around 1869-1870. In 1869, the U.S. Treasury Department also purchased a suite of Renaissance Revival furniture from Pottier and Stymus.

In unusually good condition. The surface appears to be old or original, probably with subsequent cleaning and polishing. The gilt is a combination of old and later touch-ups. The ebonizing is renewed. Scattered minor scuffs, nicks and wear consistent with age and use. There is some blushing to the finish on one of the stiles framing a side panel. Finish losses adjoining the blushing have been polished. Tight, solid and stable.
