Ames & Frost Co. (Chicago, Ill.) · 1888 · The Company · 25 pictures

This trade catalogue from 1888 was issued by Ames & Frost Co. of Chicago, Illinois, to show bedsteads and bed frames to buyers in the furniture and hotel trade. Its pictures are plain line engravings of iron and metal bedsteads with spindle headboards, tubular rails, and castors, set against a tan ground. A designer could draw on their clean, mechanical drawing style and the ornamental star and scroll bands on the bed rails.
