About John Henry Belter

John Henry Belter (1804-1863) was a renowned American furniture designer and cabinetmaker who played a significant role in the development of the Rococo Revival style in the mid-19th century. Born in Germany in 1804, Belter emigrated to the United States in 1833 and settled in New York City.
