Elmdon and Company, Spooner, Charles, 1862-1938, Penty, Arthur J. (Arthur Joseph), 1875-1937 · 1905 · London : Martlet Press · 37 pictures

A 1905 trade catalogue published in London by the Martlet Press, issued by Elmdon and Company of Hammersmith to show furniture designed by Charles Spooner and Arthur J. Penty. The pictures are rotated pages of plain photographs and line drawings of tables, a sideboard and a chest of drawers, each with dimensions, wood type and price. A designer might take from them the sober Arts and Crafts proportions of mahogany and oak pieces, with simple square legs, plain panelled fronts and modest turned or bracketed detailing.
