This text contains a detailed guide on designing furniture, with notes on the elementary forms, methods of construction, and dimensions of common articles of furniture. This text has been prepared from material collected during the author's experience of some years as a designer of furniture for several of the most important furniture-makers in New York City. It is designed primarily for the use of students, architects, and others who at times find it desirable to make drawings for furniture. The chapters of this book include: Definitions, Classification, Properties; Tables, Turnings, Cross Veneering; Chairs, Seats, Sofas, Upholstery; The Drawer; Ornamentation of Furniture; Theories of Design; and Rendering. This book was originally published in 1900, and we are proud to republish it now complete with a new introduction on making and restoring furniture.
