This piece has everything a serious collector would want, original upholstery, original finish, great provenance, important history and an important maker. If one has further interest in Gen Tom Thumb, some of his effects are on display at the Barnum Museum in Bridgeport, CT (along with a suite of furniture by Julius Dessoir from Barnum's home, Iranistan) as well as the Ringling Museum in Sarasota, FL.
