I thought I’d share two photos of Herter Brothers pieces from my recent Philadelphia Museum of Art trip. You’ll have to excuse the photography as it was with a camera that was foreign to me and since the Herters’ pieces were behind glass, I think it created some challenges for the auto-focus.
The first photo shows a Herter Brothers half-tester bed and a side-char.
The next photo shows an inlaid table attributed to Herter Brothers. You can see the bottom left corner of what is a large wall mirror that I should have photographed, but the camera was running out of juice.
