Six Large Scrapbooks Containing Numerous Photographs of Antique Furniture.

-------------------

Many of the photographs have inscriptions on their riverside side. The inscriptions are mainly descriptions of the furniture pieces and sometimes their prices. The inscriptions are either handwritten or using what seems to be a typewriter - See photos for examples.

The binding seem to have been made bespoke for the original owner, as they have gilt titles on the spines.

It is very likely that the scrapbooks were either originally owned by an antique furniture collector or retailer. The scrapbooks are a record of the furniture pieces that the person has come across.

Size: 35 x 28 x 4 cm.

Condition: Very Good (VG+)

Bindings in very good condition. Very minor wear to headcaps. Very minor shelf wear. Small number of pages are ripped or cut out, either fully or partially.
