Effectively a trade catalogue for Thomas Parsons & Sons – London manufacturers of varnishes, paints, japans, enamels and fine colours – this volume is testament to the high design aspirations of the era, with room schemes or ornamentation and colour designs offered freely for use. It showcases the work of two early 20th century British Arts and Crafts designers – W Smart and W G Sutherland, as well as the products of Thomas Parsons. Designs preceded by a brief introduction to the company.
