Lawford, Henry. "THE CABINET OF MARQUETRY, BUHL, AND INLAID WOODS. Designs
for Doors, Corners, Panels, Ornaments, Trinkets, Natural Flowers,
Marquetry, and Bands of Tulip Wood, Pedestals, Cabinets, Plate Glass Ovals
and Round Decorations, Work Tables, Bureaus, Jardiniere, Walnut Wood Card
Tables, Bookcases, Brass and China Decorations, &c."

London: 1867.

A very striking set of colored designs for very fancy marquetry, buhl and
inlaid work on a variety of pieces of furniture. The pieces illustrated
include many types of cabinets, tables, desks, sideboards and pedestals,
illustrated from a single piece to three or four pieces per page. A very
uncommon design book in the marketplace, or indeed anywhere, as OCLC only
locates 10 copies.

Hardcover. 11.5”x14.5”, title page plus 20 colored lithographic plates;
ex-library, with a stamp on the title page and each individual design
stamped. Publisher’s dark red ribbed cloth with gilt title inside a
blindstamped wreath. Covers worn and abraded at the tips, etc. endpapers
discolored, front endpaper with 5” closed tear; plates with a few light
spots, but fairly fresh and nice, except for those stamps. [30899] $875.00
