Scumbling and Colour Glazing; A Practical Handbook for House Painters, Coach Painters and Others
London: The Trade Papers Publishing Co., 1909. First edition. Cloth over Boards. Small octavo, pp. 86 with 11 color plates (beautiful tipped-in paint chip charts), 15 pages of advertising. Very Good; some foxing and small flaws to several of the paint chips. Item #23884
An amazing example of trade literature with some of the most impressive (grain painted and glazing) paint chips we've ever seen. Scumbling is the art of modifying a color by applying a very thin coat of opaque paint over it to give it a softer or duller effect. An indispensable resource for this unusual craft. Extremely scarce.
Price: $250.00
