Thomas Chippendale's The Gentleman and Cabinet Maker's Director, Facsimile Edition
Lot Details & Additional Photographs
17 5/8 x 11 1/8 in.
From a Private Collection
The Chippendale Society published this facsimile on the 250th anniversary of the publication of the first edition. This is the first time it was reprinted in its entirety. An important book, it is "a large collection of the most elegant and useful designs of household furniture in the Gothic, Chinese and modern taste..."
Slight thumbing to spine ends; extremely rare and minor handling wear to interior; ownership stamp to front free endpaper and rear pastedown; some scuffing and a tiny tear to jacket. Very good plus in a very good jacket.
