[Rarebooks] fs: Catalog of Aesthetic Movement Fireplace Accessories

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

Illustrated Price Current and Circular of Seasonable Goods. Sidney Shepard 
& Co., Manufacturers of Deep and Common Stamped Ware, Japanned Ware, Coal 
Hods, and a Large Line of Miscellaneous Goods. Importers and Dealers in Tin 
Plates, Sheet Iron, Copper and Other Metals.

Chicago; August 27, 1883.

This is basically a stove and fireplace accessory catalog, with coal hods, 
griddle lifters, polished steel fire irons, coal and fire shovels, pokers, 
fancy stove boards, and, most impressively, a series of 11 "coal vases" 
(bins for the living room). Each of these "coal vases" is illustrated in a 
full-page line cut, and almost all of them are black with fancy Aesthetic 
Movement and Japonisme-style decorations -a sphinx head, Japanese figures, 
cranes and flowers... it's quite something.
