[Rarebooks] FS: 1890 Upholstery & Drapery Pattern Book

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

TITLE: “Practical Decorative Upholstery. Containing full instructions for
cutting, making and hanging all kinds of interior upholstery decorations”

By F.A. Moreland.
Published in Boston by Lee and Shepard in 1890.

DISCUSSION: Despite the word "upholstery" in the title this is a classic
19th century drapery and window-treatment text. "Illustrated with numerous
working diagrams and designs, alike valuable to the upholsterer and
housekeeper." First published in 1889, this remains an important source of
patterns and stylistic information for 19th century fashions.

DESCRIPTION: Hardcover. 7"x9", 320 pages + 4 pages of advertisements; 69
line illustrations and diagrams.

CONDITION NOTES: Ex-library, with a bookplate and pocket remnant; some
soil, a bit of cover wear, label removed from spine leaving slight mark;
both hinges reglued. A somewhat rough example of a book which is becoming
increasingly uncommon.

PRICE: $300.00
