The Herts Brothers were prominent interior and furniture designers from New York City. Their business, run by Isaac H. Herts and his brother, Benjamin H. Herts, furnished major buildings in New York City including the New York Produce Exchange, the Columbia Bank, the Union Square Bank; hotels such as the Knickerbocker, Hotel St. Regis, and the Woodward and Murray Hill Hotel; social clubs such as the Criterion, Progress, and Colonial; and, the yachts of William Astor and other important clients. The Herts Brothers were also involved with exhibitions at the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia and the 1893 Columbia Exposition in Chicago. Today, some of their furniture can be found at various museums across the United States, and some surface at auctions.
This sewing stand offers a lift up top with a mirror inside, we believe to be the original mirror which does show some silver loss and spotting as age appropriate and measures 19 3/4 inches wide by 12 inches high. Opening the burl walnut top reveals divided compartments with the makers stamp inside. This stand is raised up on carved X legs, with double stretchers with the bottom one also having sawtooth carvings. This piece has its original finish which does show wear in some areas mainly on the beveled edge of the top of the lid.
