Provenance: Inherited from a descendant of the Lindeberg family.
Note: Most probably designed by renowned country house architect
Harrie T. Lindeberg, as it came from his house, for which he designed
most of the furniture.
Lindeberg’s career spanned from the Progressive Era of Teddy
Roosevelt to the beginning of Modernism at the end of World War II.
Well-known as a gentleman architect, he was more of an innovative
traditionalist compared to his contemporaries Frank Lloyd Wright,
William Adams Delano, and George Howe. Between 1906-1914,
Lindeberg and his partner, Lewis Albro, successfully built a new type
of country home which was both pastoral and sophisticated. As the
railroad moved into suburban areas, Lindeberg and Albro built many
alluring country homes. By the mid-1920s, Lindeberg’s clients were
found in metropolitan New York, as well as throughout the United
States. In the mid-1930s, with the shift toward Modernism, Lindeberg’s
sleek cellular architectural designs won little acclaim among his peers.
Lindeberg lived quietly on his Long Island estate with his third wife,
Angeline Krech James, during World War II.
