Description

This listing is for: " The Old Furniture Book " with a Sketch of Past Days and Ways Author : N. Hudson Moore Copyright : 1903 Pages : 254 Hardcover with leather spine and corners Description : Those who own an old piece of furniture feel an added degree of affection for it if we can give it an approximate date and assign it to a maker or a century. It takes more than being old to determine the value of an antique. Not only must an item be of high quality, it must have artistic merit. If you want to know more about an old treasure, The Old Furniture Book includes one hundred and twelve illustrations so you can learn what makes up a masterpiece of antique furniture as well as develop your own eye for quality. Don't get a reprint of the fascinating and culturally important work when you can own an original, first edition copy. Condition : This vintage book is over one hundred years old and in good to very good condition. There is wear and discoloration on the hardcover (see pictures), but the gilt is still bright. The inside pages are in good to very good condition with no ripped, bent, creased, loose or missing pages. No writing or highlighting. The page edges are deckled. The binding is secure. Note: the pages have tanned slightly due to aging (see pictures), and there is a number written on one of the first end pages. BUY WITH CONFIDENCE I NEVER use stock photos.
