介绍（中）	这把扶手椅，以及配套的侧椅和橱柜，是为Pottier和Stymus在1876年费城百年国际展览会上的展示而制作的。这一开创性活动为潜在的顾客提供了前所未有的曝光率，并激发了全国对美学风格的偏爱。创始合伙人Auguste Pottier随后将这些作品捐赠给大都会博物馆，作为杰出的当代工艺的典范。在 1870 年代末和 1880 年代初，纽约市成为豪华家具、室内木制品和装饰品的生产中心。包括George A. Schastey & Co.，Herter Brothers，Pottier and Stymus Manufacturing Company以及Herts Brothers在内的公司在这一无与伦比的财务增长时期蓬勃发展。他们的陈列室和制造厂位于该市繁荣的商业区联合广场，他们收到了纽约市和全国各地富有的金融家和铁路大亨的委托，用于定制家具。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，其中许多人逃离了构成现代法国和德国地区的政治冲突和经济困难。
介绍（英）	This armchair, along with a matching side chair 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.
