Hampton & Sons illustrated designs of cabinet furniture
A trade catalogue of cabinet furniture published by the London firm Hampton & Sons in 1869, presenting numbered designs for a furniture-buying clientele. The pictures are plain black-and-white line drawings of single chairs and shelving set on pale grey pages, each numbered and labelled with the firm's name, giving a designer a clear record of mid-nineteenth-century chair forms such as balloon-back and carved-splat types with tufted seats and turned legs.
