介绍（中）	这张沙发两端的滚动扶手（及其对66.221.2）鼓励舒适的休息，甚至午觉。19世纪初，设计师和家具制造商接受了古希腊和罗马建筑和装饰艺术中古典原型的复兴。这张沙发光滑、曲线优美的线条和引人注目的人物红木贴面，是19世纪20年代至19世纪40年代复兴时期出现的独特的希腊平原风格的特征。美国橱柜制造商深受法国对古典形式的诠释的影响，这些诠释在设计书籍和期刊中流传，如Pierre de La Mésangère的《Meubles et Objets de Goût收藏》（1820–1831）这张沙发和它的双人沙发是橱柜制造商Duncan Phyfe工作室的一套宽敞的座椅家具的一部分（见66.221.1–.10和1972.264.1–.2）。它是为律师Samuel a.Foot在纽约市的联排别墅提供家具的，该别墅位于百老汇678号，于1837年完工。1847年，富特家族搬到了纽约的日内瓦，并将百老汇的房子卖给了富特的侄子托马斯·A·戴维斯。菲菲套房很可能被搬到了这家人的新住所，一座名为Mullrose的富丽堂皇的希腊风格别墅（现存，但经过了改动）。这些家具是通过富特的后代来到博物馆的。
介绍（英）	The scrolled armrests at opposite ends of this couch (and its pair 66.221.2) encouraged comfortable repose—or even a midday nap. In the early nineteenth century, designers and furniture makers embraced a revival of Classical prototypes from ancient Greek and Roman architecture and decorative arts. The sleek, curvaceous lines, and dramatic, figural mahogany veneers of this couch characterize the distinct Grecian Plain style that emerged in the 1820s to 1840s during the revival period. American cabinetmakers were highly influenced by French interpretations of Classical forms that circulated in design books and periodicals, such as Pierre de La Mésangère's Collection de Meubles et Objets de Goût (1820–1831). This couch and its pair are part of an expansive suite of seating furniture attributed to the workshop of cabinetmaker Duncan Phyfe (see 66.221.1–.10 and 1972.264.1–.2). It was made to furnish a New York City townhouse belonging to the lawyer Samuel A. Foot, located at 678 Broadway which had been completed in 1837. In 1847 the Foot family relocated to Geneva, New York, and sold the Broadway house to Foot's nephew, Thomas A. Davies. The Phyfe suite was likely moved to the family's new dwelling, a palatial Grecian-style villa named Mullrose (extant, though altered). The furniture came to the Museum through Foot’s descendants.
