- Description:
- "The hand-carved table in the foyer of the Nestle Library at one time graced the New York residence of the late Countess von Bismarck. This library table was given to the late Professor of Law, John H. Sherry, who served as Counsel to the Countess. Professor John H. Sherry conveyed the elegant table to his son, Professor of Law, John E. H. Sherry. Professor J.E.H. Sherry, upon a celebration of his 25 years of association with the School of Hotel Administration, donated this table to the Nestle Library."
