[Trade Catalogue] A collection of illustrated and priced catalogues : [6 catalogues in 1 vol.]

The Ball and Cross Trade Mark of St. Paul's Cathedral, Benham & Froud Ltd · 1893 · 129 pictures

This is a late nineteenth-century London trade catalogue from the firm B. & F. Ltd (Benham & Froud), issued in 1893 and bundled with five other catalogues, aimed at trade buyers of gas and electric lighting fittings. The plates are ornate line drawings of pendants, bracket lamps, electroliers and lanterns, mostly in iron scrollwork with glass shades and globes. A designer could draw on their dense Victorian scroll, foliage and wrought-iron ornament for period lighting, decorative metalwork or revival-style patterns.
