Contained within this antique book is an illustrated catalogue of Chippendale, Hepplewhite and Sheraton furniture. This is a large collection of the most elegant and useful designs of household furniture in the Gothic, Chinese, and more modern tastes, including a variety of beds, bookcases, cabinets, chairs, chests, china cases, clothes presses, desks, fire screens, and much more besides. Complete with a lengthy preface and exquisite illustrations, this book is ideal for those with an interest in the furniture of these prolific designers and is not to be missed by the discerning collector.
