Warings' exhibition of Italian art 1909 : furniture, bronzes, tapestries, embroideries, marbles, lace, academy pictures
An exhibition and sale catalogue issued by the London furnishing firm Waring & Gillow in 1909, listing Italian furniture, bronzes, tapestries, embroideries, marbles and lace for collectors and decorators. Halftone photographs show single objects against plain grounds: carved walnut cabinets with diamond panels, armchairs with knotted stretchers, table bases held up by caryatid satyrs, and turned candlestick shafts, usable as isolated silhouettes and carving details.
