CREATORS

* Joseph Meeks and Sons (American)  - artist
A leading firm of New York furniture makers active from 1797 to 1868. In 1833 they issued an advertisment illustrating forty-one pieces of furniture, most in a heavy but generally simplified version of the English Regency style--pier-tables with columns and lion-paw feet, dining table with central supports, etc.--some of them adapted from the pattern books of G. Smith. In the 1840s they were making pieces in the Gothic Revival style, including a set of walnut chairs for the White House (1846-47). Later they turned to the Neo-Rococo and produced laminated rosewood furniture similar to that of J. H. Belter. From 1835 they had an agency in New Orleans and they are said to have supplied furniture throughout the U. S.
