Chats on old furniture : a practical guide for collectors
Chats on Old Furniture is a 1906 New York practical guide for collectors, written by Arthur Hayden and published by F.A. Stokes, aimed at people buying and identifying antique furniture. Its pictures are photographic plates of individual pieces shown front-on against plain grounds, so a designer can study silhouettes, joinery, panelling and turned legs, such as the carved cabinet with roundel panels, the caned side chair, and the bobbin-turned chest on stand.
