Furniture of the olden time

Morse, Frances Clary · 1913 · New York, The Macmillan company; London, Macmillan & co., ltd. · 295 pictures

A collector's survey of American and English household furniture by Frances Clary Morse, published by Macmillan in New York and London in 1913 for antiquarians, dealers and furnishing-minded readers. The plates are halftone photographs of single pieces shot against plain backgrounds, mostly chairs recorded from the front or three-quarter view, giving designers clean silhouettes of pierced splats, cabriole and claw-and-ball legs, turned uprights and upholstered seats that cut out easily.
