Atmore, M. G : Cape Furniture

(Cape Town: Howard Timmins, 1974)

4to; original brown boards; pictorial dustwrapper; pp. 246, incl. index; several plates. Dustwrapper a little rubbed and slightly edgeworn; some rippling to pastedowns; spotting to edges. Good condition. Classic work on the subject. "Until now, the systematic study of Cape furniture has been neglected and this is the first book dealing with the subject fully and comprehensively. To ensure that general conclusions could be drawn, more than 1500 pieces of locally made furniture in museums and private collections have been studied and compared with examples of similar age from Europe and other early colonial settlements such as America and Canada. Each form of furniture is considered separately and particular attention has been given to the derivation of styles, their subsequent development at the Cape and the dates or periods when they were popular. A chapter on the brass and silver fittings used on Cape pieces is also included as well as sections on recognition of early workmanship and the care and restoration of old furniture."
