When E. L. Roberts Co. mdash; a Chicago-based wholesale manufacturer of architectural woodwork mdash; issued a catalog of its millwork products in 1903; the firm boasted that the publication included "more novel and useful features hellip; than any sash and door catalogue yet published;" and that it was a book designed to satisfy "critical buyers who demand stylish and tasteful goods."This volume; reproduced directly from a rare turn-of-the-century Roberts catalog; displays a vast assortment of finely crafted products mdash; from window blinds; brackets; china closets; church fittings; doors; frames; gable finishes; linen closets; moldings; and office furniture to parquet floors; sashes; shingles; side boards; side lights; store fronts; wainscoting; and windows.Nearly 300 sharply defined line drawings and photographs also provide detailed close-ups of exquisitely carved rosettes; head blocks; grilles; arches; and other decorative accents. Included in these illustrations are superb views of late-Victorian interiors finished with ornately carved balusters and newel posts; paneled walls; exquisite filigree; lovely stained glass windows; and magnificent fireplace mantels.Heres a practical source of plans and ideas for architects; students of architectural history; carpentry enthusiasts; preservationists; restorationists; and anyone interested in the interior design and furnishings of a bygone era.
