Old English furniture from the 16th to the 19th centuries. A guide for the collector
A 1909 London guide by George Owen Wheeler, published by L. U. Gill, for collectors of English furniture spanning the 16th to 19th centuries. The pictures are halftone photographs of single pieces against plain backgrounds, showing a Chippendale-style tray-top stand with fretted galleries, a turned-leg oval occasional table with drop leaves, and a row of Hepplewhite-style chairs with shield backs, useful for a designer studying period silhouettes, carved splats and pierced ornament.
