The Talbot J. Taylor collection : furniture, wood-carving, and other branches of the decorative arts
A 1906 New York catalogue published by G.P. Putnam, documenting the furniture, wood-carving and decorative arts of the collector Talbot J. Taylor for collectors and students of decorative arts. The plates are photographic reproductions of single pieces shown in plain grey studio light, including chairs seen from above, a carved oak daybed, and a French commode. A designer might take their clear silhouettes, turned and carved wood details, and strap-and-scroll ornament as reference for period furniture forms.
