Wardrobe, c. 1863, B.J. Montgomery & Co., New Orleans, 97 x 64 1/2 x 23 in. (246.4 x 163.8 x 58.4 cm), Mahogany, United States, 19th century, By the mid-19th century, the wealth generated along the Mississippi River through agriculture processing and distribution, especially of cotton, prompted the importation of manufactured goods to New Orleans. Bundled furnishings unloaded there were transferred to steamboats and sent north, sometimes as far as Minnesota. This Grecian-style wardrobe traveled almost the entire length of the Mississippi - from the New Orleans furniture retailer B.J. Montgomery & Co. to the home of Mrs. James Phelps, wife of a dry goods merchant in St. Paul.
