Muut tiedot
Hela sin verksamhetstid, fram till sin död 1813, snickrade Iwersson intarsiadekorerade möbler med rika beslagsuppsättningar med mer eller mindre av Haupts attribut. Alltid med de exklusivaste materialen. Detta även under den efterföljande sengustavianska perioden, då släta mahognymöbler med mässingsdetaljer var det förhärskande och då Iwersson var den tongivande snickaren.
