Cima, Giuseppe. "L’ADDOBBATORE MODERNO..."  Milan; Giocondo Regazzoni:
(1843).

A volume illustrating superb Italian high-style cabinetry and woodwork,
much of it obviously influenced by Gothic, Regency, Rococo, Empire and
Revivalist styles, with a little Chinoiserie thrown in as well. This was
originally Part 3 (“C”) of a six-volume set illustrating designs for
Italian Decorators, which included volumes devoted to textiles, furniture;
wood-work, including furniture (our volume), metalwork, carriages, and
silver & bronze work. Complete sets are rare and even individual volumes
are difficult to find; the only other example of any volume of this title
I could locate that is now being offered in the trade is a complete set
with hand-colored plates, priced slightly over $17,000.

This single volume features woodwork, including a selection of elaborate
doors and surrounds; plant stands; gothic and other bookshelves; garden
furniture; an elaborate garden swing; circular stairs; paneled walls;
gates; library furniture and fittings; door and entrance curtains; shop
fronts and display windows; desk/bookcase; a pulpit; confessional booth;
pipe organ surround; benches; paneled ceilings; a coffeehouse for a park
or garden; organ case; predella; wall sconces; pharmacy interior; and
more.

Hardcover. 8.5”x11”, lithographed title page and 50 lithographed plates;
bound in period red pebbled boards with a leather spine with raised bands
and gilt rules; covers somewhat worn and soiled, endpapers worn, plates
with some minor foxing and soil. As noted, a single volume, complete in
itself, from a rare six-volume set. [30622] $750.00
