Pottier & Stymus:
One of the most prominent and largest American design and manufacturing firms of high quality furniture of the Victorian period, Pottier & Stymus produced furniture in the Neo-Greco, Renaissance Revival, Egyptian Revival, and Modern Gothic styles. The company supplied furniture to the President's office and the Cabinet Room in the W hite House in 1869, and for the homes of such well-to-do families as the Rockefellers and railway baron Leland Stanford. First opened by August Pottier and William P. Stymus, Sr. in 1859, the firm’s factory occupied a full block on Lexington Avenue in New York by 1871, and in 1872, it became their headquarters and showroom employing 700 men and 50 women.
