Illustrated catalogue 1895-96 with compliments of the New England Merchandise Company.
This is a trade catalogue issued in 1895 by the New England Merchandise Company of Boston, offering general merchandise to retail buyers and premium-scheme customers across the United States. The four pictures show a paneled wooden cabinet or sideboard, a carved upholstered chair seen from above, a cane-seated armchair with turned legs, and an engraved 14K hunting-case pocket watch. For a designer, they offer plain late-nineteenth-century furniture and jewellery forms, with ornate engraving on the watch case and carved detail on the chair.
