London, published by R.Charles, 1874. Large folio. Title page followed by a lithographed decorative frontispiece and 99 (of 100) full page numbered lithograph plates illustrating many examples of ornate heavy curtains along with decorative drapes for pelmets and mantle boards. Most plates feature multiple examples of each type of product. Almost certainly a manufacturer s catalogue of designs and a scarce reference work for the type of heavy drapery popular in upmarket homes in the mid and late Victorian era. Bound in limp cloth wrappers with a paper label on the front cover advertising Sturm and Knight Upholsterers, Cabinet Makers and Decorators of 64 South Audley Street, London. Presumably this was that company s copy of this catalogue. Covers recently re-lined with stout acid-free paper and the binding firmly reattached to the page block. Title page and final plate mounted onto stout paper. Title page moderately foxed and with some loss at its inside edge and foredge. Final plate with minor loss to its foredge margin. Frontispiece stained at its foredge. Occasional light to moderate foxing as well as occasional dust-soiling and finger-marking affecting some of the plates. Otherwise, a reasonably clean copy of a scarce 19th century trade catalogue with the page block sound and the binding in good condition. NB The price of this item is negotiable dependent on your chosen payment method. Further photographs available on request. This is a large and relatively heavy book which will incur an additional shipping charge to that quoted in this listing. Please feel welcome to make contact if you have any questions about this item or to discuss payment options. Size: Atlas Folio - over 23" - 25" tall.

Store Description

I sell a small but diverse selection of mainly non-fiction antiquarian books online via ABE and also on Ebay under the trading name of N1.Books-and-Photographs. I tend to specialise in illustrated books, books on history, architecture, the applied arts, crafts and sciences but there are usually a few titles amongst my stock that stray into other fields. I am also a trained, working book restorer with over 30 years experience and am happy to quote on any book restoration project. You can see many examples of my work at www.sussexbookrestoration.co.uk and you are welcome to contact me via the link at that website should you have a book that may be in need of restoration or repair.
