介绍（中）	这把侧椅，以及一把配套的扶手椅和橱柜，是为1876年在费城举行的百年国际展览上Pottier和Stymus的展览而制作的。这一具有开创性意义的活动为潜在的赞助人提供了前所未有的曝光率，并引发了全国对美学风格的偏好。创始合伙人Auguste Pottier随后将这些作品捐赠给大都会博物馆，作为杰出当代工艺的典范在19世纪70年代末和19世纪80年代初，纽约市成为豪华家具、室内木制品和装饰的生产中心。包括George A.Schastey&；公司、赫特兄弟、Pottier和Stymus制造公司以及赫茨兄弟在这段无与伦比的财务增长时期蓬勃发展。他们的展厅和制造厂位于纽约市繁荣的联合广场商业区，从纽约市和全国各地的富有金融家和铁路巨头那里获得定制家具的佣金。这些提供全方位服务的公司依赖于训练有素的移民工匠的技能，其中许多人逃离了现代法国和德国所在地区的政治冲突和经济困难。
介绍（英）	This side chair, along with a matching armchair and cabinet, was made for Pottier and Stymus’ display at the 1876 Centennial International Exhibition in Philadelphia. This seminal event offered unprecedented exposure to potential patrons and sparked the nation’s preference for the Aesthetic style. Founding partner Auguste Pottier then donated the pieces to the Metropolitan Museum as examples of distinguished contemporary craftsmanship. During the late 1870s and early 1880s, New York City emerged as the center for the production of luxury furniture, interior woodwork, and decoration. Companies including George A. Schastey & Co., Herter Brothers, Pottier and Stymus Manufacturing Company, and Herts Brothers flourished during this period of unparalleled financial growth. With showrooms and manufactories located in the city’s thriving commercial district at Union Square, they received commissions from wealthy financiers and railroad magnates in New York City and across the country for custom-made furnishings. These full-service firms depended on the skills of highly trained émigré craftsmen, many of whom had fled political strife and economic hardship in regions that compose modern-day France and Germany.
