Specimens of ancient furniture
A plate-based survey of historic furniture published in London in 1866 by Henry G. Bohn, drawing on the work of Samuel Rush Meyrick and Henry Shaw for a general audience of collectors and antiquaries. The engraved plates show carved cups, turned table legs, a panelled ceiling and ornate stands in fine hatched line, with decorative strapwork and scrollwork a designer could draw on for ornament.
