Irving & Casson was an important Boston firm of interior designers and furniture makers, founded in 1875. Its specialty was interior woodwork and mantels, but it also made furniture, primarily in the styles of the 17th, 18th and early 19th centuries. In 1914 or 1916, the firm merged with A. H. Davenport Company, a furniture company also located in Boston. After the merger, the company executed a number of commissions for Gothic Revival churches, including the chapels at Duke University and the University of Pittsburgh. Doubtless this book and its many colonial details were used on many of their design projects. Nice business association.
