Christian Herter was most famous for his fine-crafted wood furniture, as part of the 'Herter Brothers of New York'. His work could be found in the most prestigious of homes, including 'The White House', and covered every aspect of Interior Design.
Although Christian Herter died in 1883, his legacy continued when his wife Mary Herter and their son, the famous artist Albert Herter built the 'El Mirasol Herter Estate'. It became a showcase of Herter Family Art, much of which has never been documented.
Built at the turn of the 19th century, the El Mirasol estate was an artisan's showcase for Herter Family Art.
The artwork at the El Mirasol was created by Christian Herter and his talented family, including the famous artists Albert and Adele Herter.
This Herter mansion located in California contained elegant Herter Brothers furniture, Christian Herter designed "sunflower" motif wallpaper, lighting fixtures, and painted panels, and more.
Albert and Adele Herter decorated the El Mirasol mansion with Herter artwork, including beautiful wall murals, elegant tapestries and textiles (by Albert Herter's 'Herter Looms'), fine oil paintings -including several family and self portraits, painted Chinese antique-foil wallcovering by Albert and Adele Herter, and elegant Louis Tiffany stain glass jeweled windows designed by Albert Herter and executed by Tiffany Studios.
