Chats on old furniture : a practical guide for collectors
Arthur Hayden's 1906 collector's handbook, published in New York by F. A. Stokes, surveys English furniture from oak chests to cane-backed chairs for amateur buyers and dealers. Halftone plates show single pieces isolated against plain grounds, recording carved panels, turned legs, scrolled stretchers and studded leather in flat grey tone useful for silhouettes, period props and ornament reference.
