Summary

Description
English: In 1882, at age 22, William Gilman Nichols became a partner in the high-end furniture and decorating company Herter Brothers; business analysts R.G. Dun & Co. described him as "a young man of decided artistic tastes, of good character and habits & well fitted for his present occupation."[1] Nichols was president of Herter Brothers from 1891 until its dissolution in 1906.[2] His marriage in 1893 to Herman O. Armour's daughter Mary was given the front-page headline "Marriage of Millionaires" in one newspaper.[3] From 1900 the couple resided at a sprawling waterfront estate called Petronia[4] in Rye, New York. His brother-in-law Harry Watrous painted this portrait of Nichols, to whom he also made a gift of his painting The Line of Love.[5] After Nichols's death at 49 in 1909, his widow and children continued to reside at Petronia.
