Bridgeport Wood Finishing Co. : descriptive price list.
A descriptive price list issued in 1890 by the Bridgeport Wood Finishing Co., a trade catalogue for wood stains, dyes and finishes sold to builders and furniture makers. The pictures are rows of flat colour swatches numbered for ordering, with some plates showing a mottled or speckled wood-grain effect that a designer could use as a muted palette of browns, ochres, greys and oxblood reds.
