SYNOPSIS, BLURB...:
Attractive volume.
Revised edition.
Much more rare than the 1st which is scarce.
Covers the history of Cape furniture & associated objects (hinges, escutcheons, handles &c) in detail. Fine b/w plates - photos & drawings, showing examples & individual parts of the furnishings (chair backs, pediments &c).
Contents are excellent; end papers are free of names and inscriptions – couple of spots of surface disturbance consequent upon erasure of pencil marks.
Seldom seen piece of very good Africana offered at a keen price.
