Illustrated catalogue of office and library furniture manufactured by J. Brewi & Co. at the original American Desk Manufactory
This trade catalogue from 1876 was issued by the American Desk Manufactory of New York for offices and libraries, showing desks and bookcases for commercial buyers. Its engravings present secretary desks with glazed upper cabinets, fall fronts, pigeonholes and turned legs, drawn in fine black line with shaded wood and carved ornament that suggest Victorian cabinetwork patterns a designer could adapt for period furniture or vintage interiors.
