The Upholsterer's and Cabinet-Maker's Repository: Containing Seventy-Six Plates

  • Hardcover
  • first
Unusual re-issue of the engraved and hand-coloured furniture plates originally published in Ackermann's Repository of Arts from 1809 to 1822.

Complete with all 76 plates, several signed by George Smith, later Upholsterer and Furniture Draughtsman to Queen Victoria.

Many delightful illustrations of Regency furniture and interiors including curtains, draperies, beds, chairs, sofas, ottomans, bookshelves, cabinets, sideboards, ladies' work tables for sewing and embroidery, upright pianos, wheelchairs, transforming furniture, in both classical and Gothic styles.

A treasure trove of luxurious furniture manufactured for the aristocracy, drawn by various artists from actual pieces - some of which occasionally turn up for auction. Includes the cradle of Napoleon II, Pitt's cabinet globe writing table, Benjamin Crosby's revolving moveable bookcase, a "metamorphic" writing and backgammon table, George Wilkinson and Robert Wornum's upright patent piano-forte, William Pocock's reclining chair, stylish chairs by Thomas Morgan and Joseph Sanders, Merlin's mechanical chair (wheelchair), campaign beds inspired by the Duke of Wellington, etc.

Only two copies located in libraries, the Philadelphia Museum and the Smithsonian.

The plates in quarto size with larger margins than the original octavo issue in the Repository of Arts. Pages watermarked from 1827 to 1830, and previous owner's signature "Russell Smith 1836" on front endpaper.

Faded leather spine with gilt lines, original boards, corners rubbed and fraying, stained paper title label on front cover, title page and 76 plates in mostly very good condition with bright handcolour, a few with spotting or offsetting, binding fragile.

Halifax: Printed by Abraham Hodge, 1799. First Edition First Printing . Hardcover. Good. 8vo. 502, (18) pages. Hardcover bound in original full leather. The binding is worn and scuffed but sound. Some of the scuffing on the binding has deep gouges, especially on the rear cover where a strip of leather is missing along the fore edge. Hinges are secure, but there is a strip of old cloth book tape on the front inner hinge, and some of the last few leaves of the index are stuck together at the gutter. This does not really affect the text but there might have been some adhesive applied there. Corners bumped. Contains the front and rear blank flyleaves. There is an early ink signature on the front pastedown which appears to be "L. Silliman" (possibly Levi Silliman? 1797-1867. He was the second Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church in North Carolina). "L. Silliman" also is written in light pencil on the rear pastedown, next to an early ink notation of "Haywood." There also a couple of bolder early 20th… Read More

Description:
Oxford: Printed at the Theater, 1686 A good copy in full leather binding with map, 26 folding and 11 single page plates. With the Copy of the Proposals and list of subscribers, but lacking the Arms Omitted. The binding, with blind stamped lining to boards, raised bands and title label to spine, is in very good clean condition. The spine has been relaid, but the boards do not look contemporary so this could be a later binding which has itself been repaired. There is a little scuffing to the boards but little significant wear. New endpapers have been added, replacing damaged and heavily marbled ones (? late victorian). The contents have been trimmed at some time (it is now on the quarto/folio border), but all page edges are red and the trimming does not look recent. The trimming is particularly obvious in the subscribers list. Overall the contents are in good condition, with most text pages and many plates being bright and clean. However significant paper repair was carried out at one time using tape… Read More
