Kimbel and Cabus
Kimbel and Cabus was a Victorian-era furniture and decorative arts firm based in New York City. The partnership was formed in 1862 between German-born cabinetmaker Anthony Kimbel (c. 1821–1895)〔Obituary: "Anthony Kimbel, of the firm of A. Kimbel & Sons, 398 Fifth avenue, died September 23 at his home at 337 West Thirty-second street. Mr. Kimbel was born at Mayence, Germany, seventy-four years ago. He came to this city in 1848, and went into the employ of the late Mr. Boudoine as an expert designer and draughtsman, then at 335 Broadway, where the offices of ''The Furniture Trade Review'' now are. In 1855 he formed the firm of Bembe & Kimbel in Warren street. In 1862 he organized the firm of Kimbel & Cabus, which was located at 920- to 930 Broadway for nearly twenty years. In 1880 Mr. Cabus withdrew and Mr. Kimbel took his sons into partnership. Last May he retired, and his sons, Anthony and Henry, are now conducting the business. Mr. Kimbel received the patronage of many of New York's most wealthy citizens, who trusted entirely to his taste when furnishing their houses. He was an enthusiastic student of the art of housefurnishing and read extensively on art topics." William Berri, ''The Furniture Trade Review and Interior Decorator'' (1895), p. 149.〕 and French-born cabinetmaker Joseph Cabus (1824–1894). The company was noted for its Modern Gothic and Anglo-Japanese style furniture, which it popularized at the 1876 Centennial Exposition.〔Company profile, Smithsonian Institution.〕

In an earlier partnership with Anton Bembe, Kimbel contributed to the decoration of the new House of Representatives Chamber at the U.S. Capitol.〔(19, 1857: ) "I made a bargain with Mr. (T. ) Hammitt (the Hammitt Desk Manufacturing Company ) of Philadelphia for one-half of the chairs for the House of Representatives at $75 each, delivered. I have telegraphed to Bembe and Kimbel of New York that they might make the other half at $70 each, not including the packing. This makes 262 chairs and the same number of desks in all for the House of Representatives which are now engaged." Source: (''Capitol Builder: The Shorthand Journals of Montgomery C. Meigs, 1853-1859'' (Congressional Committee Materials, 1861). )〕 The firm carved 131 Rococo Revival armchairs (designed by architect Thomas U. Walter) for members of Congress, half of the total;〔(House of Representatives desk and armchair ) from ''Antiques Roadshow''.〕 and manufactured the monumental clock (designed by Joseph A. Bailly and William Henry Rinehart) over the chamber's entrance. The firm of Bembe & Kimbel lasted from 1854 to Bembe's death in 1861.〔(''Bembe & Kimbel'' ) from Witherell's Art and Antiques.〕
Cabus had a brief partnership with cabinetmaker Alexander Roux.〔John Werry, (''Alexander Roux and Joseph Cabus Collaboration'' ) from Rare Victorian, February 14, 2007.〕
