The Complete Cabinet Maker, and Upholsterer's Guide

Stokes, J.

History

Wentworth Press

The Complete Cabinet Maker And Upholsterer's Guide, by J. Stokes, was in continuous publication from the first London edition of 1829 through to the final Philadelphia edition of 1904. This, the 1829 edition, is the only one to have the added eleven hand colored plates of furniture of the period. As a testimony to it's importance and relevance to the furniture making trades of the 19th and early 20th centuries, the text of The Complete Cabinet Maker And Upholsterer's Guide, later retitled The Complete Cabinet Maker And Upholsterer's Companion for the American market by H. C. Baird, remained largely untouched for 75 years. The Toolemera Press reprint edition has been reproduced in full color, page by page, in order to provide the reader with the experience of reading a rare and valuable book.

In continuous publication from the first London edition of 1829 through to the final Henry Carey Baird, Philadelphia edition of 1904, this, the 1829 edition, is the only one to have all sixteen plates, which include eleven hand colored plates of period furniture.
