Limbert Arts and Crafts Furniture: The Complete 1903 Catalog (Dover Books on Antiques and Furniture)

Rating:
Summary: Dover's mission furniture catalogs
Review: While Charles Limbert is less well known than the Stickley brothers, some of his furniture was, to the European eye, even better. Sadly, the line drawings of the original catalog are extremely ugly (see nos 79 and 80 which are reproduced as photographs on the cover, you would scarcely recognise them!). I did use this to build a glazed bookcase (no 306), which must be some sort of a recommendation, for I haven't used any of the other catalogs yet. And the book is very cheap!
