A well-illustrated printer’s specimen book issued to depict the varieties of Second Empire French furniture featuring styles such as Louis XV Louis XVI and the decorative styles of Napoleon III’s designers. Victor Joseph Quetin 1822-1877 was an entrepreneurial printer who began producing these Furniture style books for Parisian craftsmen cabinetmakers and would sell these volumes of specimen sheets to manufacturers to show their prospective clients. The furnishings shown in these leaves encompass tables chairs toilettes some with bidets built in many with attached mirrors bed frames armoires buffets desks and desks with built-in bookcases. The index which is often missing provides an excellent quick reference to the styles types of furnishings as well as the specific plate. Demand increased as Paris & France underwent tremendous renovations and progress during the Second Empire and many of the furnishings inspired by the designs of Carlin Weisweiler and Riesener were presented to the public at the 1867 Exposition Universelle.

Also issued was a newspaper Journal le magasin de meubles†which offered details of the specimen catalogues he would assemble subscriptions and pricing with details on colour lithography and hand-colouring as well. His designs were dependent upon using a specialized machine which would enlarge reduce or even alter lithographic designs for clients.

This amazing salesman sample photo archive for the North La Crosse Reed & Rattan Works and the La Crosse Reed Furniture Works provide an indispensable visual record of reed and rattan wicker furniture produced and sold in Wisconsin during the Arts & Crafts era. Wicker furniture experienced a tremendous rise in popularity during the last decades of the 19th century with many manufacturers producing items in Wisconsin and other Midwest States and the domestic reeds used by American manufacturers proved especially flexible and were more capable of being painted or stained while Rattan was harder to weave and could only be shellacked. The cabinet photos by Spettel and Perkins include images of high-backed fancy Victorian rockers a foot stool magazine rack sewing basket a Turkish chair a round table and several other wicker rocking chairs. Spettel 1866-1935 was brought into his brother Clement Spettel’s photography studio in 1886 because his business was so popular and they would thrive in North La Crosse WI until 1906 when Aloysius moved his business to North Dakota. The business location on 806 Caledonia was established by the brothers in 1888 and was initially called the New Gallery then the National Art Studio and sometime around 1897-98 it was simply A.F. Spettel while Clement worked at 320 North 4th on the City’s south side. Of particular interest is the “Perkins†Studio Cabinet photo as there is no known other example of a Perkins photographer at that location although that studio location served eight other known photographers between 1888 and 1900. The collection of factory linen-backed photographs depict a wide variety of Victorian rattan furniture including wing-back chairs & rockers stacking children’s stools children’s high chair rocker sewing baskets waste baskets and more. Nearly all of them have inventory numbers and prices on verso some individually priced others priced by the dozen ranging from $ 2.75 to $ 8.50. The Ford & Johnson Fiber-Rush and Malacca furniture catalogue includes a wide range of Mission-style and Arts & Crafts period furnishings including tables library tables settees rockers and more. The Art Fibre Weaving catalogue not only includes excellent photographic images of wicker furniture but also images of fibre art weaving classes schools and equipment. See: Edwin L.
