John Henry Belter was born in 1804 in Hilter near Osnabruck, Germany and was trained as a cabinetmaker’s apprentice in Wurttemberg. He specialized in German rococo carving, which later became popular during the Victorian era and is known today as the Rococo Revival style. He moved to New York in 1833, becoming an American citizen in 1839. His shop “J.H. Belter and Co.” was located during the years 1846-1852 at 372 Broadway. He is known for developing a technique for processing laminated rosewood in many layers to achieve thin panels that, once shaped in molds through steam heating, were finely carved. This style became very popular in New York, and was widely copied by his competitors in Philadelphia and Boston. Belter died in New York City in 1863, and his business was carried on by his brothers-in-law, the Springmyers.
