Trade Catalogs
This collection contains international manufacturer, wholesale and retail catalogs from the eighteenth century to the present. We are aspiring to digitize a broad range of trade catalogs in our collection with an emphasis on the decorative arts, especially Art Nouveau and Art Deco design. The types of catalogs range from fashion, silks, textiles and wallpaper to furniture, industrial design, jewelry and ceramics. Other subjects include ornamental motifs, wrought iron, elevators, clocks, tableware, tiles, stoves, fireplaces, lighting, artist materials, picture frames, woodwork, paneling, typography and automobiles.
