A ‘Guide Book and Illustrated Technical Dictionary’ on the methods of creating the inside of horse-drawn passenger carriages, and frequently their roof. Fascinating because of its complexity and the number of trades involved - upholstering, tufting, stitching and binding, cutting enameled leathers, welting and so on. Also includes recipes for a host of oil, blocking, polishing and other liquids, as well as the tools involved. For the owners of carriages, or their restorers, this is invaluable but today it is perhaps almost more useful for the restorers of antique furniture. 360 pages. Numerous engravings. Paperback.
