Hand-drawn pen and ink illustration signed by artist Herbert L. Englert and dated 1917. This design plate was made for the renowned Gottlieb Buehler furniture factory in Allentown, PA. A premier manufacturer of high-end parlor frames, Buehler specialized in intricate woodcarving and "caned-back" suites crafted from American hardwoods. This sketch served as the master technical blueprint for the company’s master woodcarvers and upholsterers.
