About This Item

Garnett Terry, London, 1793; Antique copperplate engraving from Thomas Sheraton’s "The Cabinet Maker And Upholsterer’s Drawing Book In Four Parts," 18th century design and instruction manual for furniture designers. Plate #8 from The Appendix, picturing a wardrobe described by Sheraton as follows: "The upper middle part contains six or seven clothespress shelves, generally made about six or six and a half inches, with green baize tacked to the inside of the front to cover the clothes with. The lower part consists of real drawers. The wings have each of them arms to hang clothes on, made of beech, with a swivel in their center, which flips onto an iron rod fixed by plates screwed on to each side of the wings, as expressed in the design. The whole is made in four separate carcasses. The wings by themselves, and the upper and lower middle parts separate." Designed and drawn by Thomas Sheraton, engraved and published by Garnet Terry, 1793. An original plate, not a reproduction. Sheet size 7 3/4" x 10 1/2", matte window 7 1/4" x 10". Hinge-mounted entirely acid free and matted with 100% rag museum board in 11" x 14" size, ready for framing. Fine condition, clean, bright, and sharp. Scarce.
