Description:
England, eighteenth-century gold-tooled red goatskin over wooden boards, bound for Lord Harley by Christopher Chapman (approximately 1704-1758); sewn on six raised bands. On both covers double fillets form two concentric frames: within the outer frame is an ornamental roll of three-quarter circles containing alternately a sun and anthemion (H. Nixon, 'Harleian bindings', pl. 14, Chapman roll 2), within the inner frame is a floral roll (Nixon, 'Harleian bindings', pl. 13), and on the inside of the border is an alternating fleur-de-lis and three-petalled flower roll (Nixon, 'Harleian bindings', pl. 14, Chapman roll 1); both covers have an elongated lozenge-shaped centrepiece made-up of numerous individual tools, mostly of the leafed volute type with numerous curving lines both solid and dotted, the other tools mainly unidentified (but including Nixon, 'Harleian bindings', pl. 15, Chapman no. 8).
