Needle-point furniture.
A trade catalogue issued by the H.E. Anderson Upholstery Shoppe of Manistee, Michigan, for customers buying needlepoint-covered furniture, undated in the record. The pictures show footstools and stools with upholstered tops on turned, fluted or cabriole legs, with carved rails, stretchers and bun feet, each shown in a plain sepia catalogue photograph with a number and dimensions. A designer could take from them the period-revival forms of Louis XVI-style and Queen Anne-style stool silhouettes and their leg and stretcher profiles.
