Illustrated catalogue and price list of rattan and basket chairs.
An 1888 trade catalogue of rattan and basket chairs issued by O.P. & G.E. Ellingwood of West Paris, Maine, aimed at retailers and buyers of chairs. The four engravings show rocking chairs with woven seats and backs, slatted or woven, with turned spindles and curved rockers. A designer could take from them the simple proportions of Victorian rocking chairs and the variety of woven cane and splint patterns.
