Info
The furnishings in the Belter Parlor reflect the Rococo Revival style (1845–70). The parlor takes its name from John Henry Belter, a cabinetmaker who was a leading manufacturer in New York City during the 1850s. Belter’s factory made the matching set of furniture that is on view in the room. In 1971, Ima Hogg completed the Belter Parlor, the last of her room installations. The furnishings reflect a strict adherence to historical accuracy; the wallpaper is based on fragments of French wallpaper used at a home in Salisbury, Connecticut, and the carpet is a reproduction of an English design from the Rococo Revival period.
