Product Description
Excellent reproduction of extremely rare catalog, originally distributed by important Grand Rapids, Michigan manufacturer of fine Mission-style furniture. Unusual pen-and-ink drawings depict 188 pieces, among them a large-arm rocker of bolted construction, fold-down tables and desks, bookcases with leaded glass doors, library and octagonal tables, chairs, settees, more. Captions detail woods, construction, measurements, finishes and prices.
Reader Reviews
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 eighty 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!
