Yet More Old Furniture Trade Cards
July 14, 2012
After recently publishing selections of old furniture trade cards that might have been found in the secret drawer of a hypothetical cabinet or discovered stashed behind a plate on the top shelf of a hypothetical alcove in the eighteenth century, it is my pleasure to show this further selection which had fallen down the back of a hypothetical armoire.

I love the sofabeds – “an elegant sofa which converts into a four poster bed”!
Ohhhh, what a wonderful idea! CHAIRBEDS!!! The best of two worlds 😀
These are beautiful trade cards, but it would be particularly useful to have the dates when these were current.
I love the ” Nimble Ninepence” – perfect for a book or shop or blog title.
Do you have other categories of inscriptions – e.g epitaphs. Before its renovation you could read several in St Martin’s Crypt Cafe. 18th. C. ceramics also have fascinating inscriptions.
Looking forward to seeing more or similar. Thanks.
