Furniture Industry of Czechoslovakia 



Furniture Kas hitherto been an important item of export from 

 Czechoslovakia, and there are at present more than 50 large 

 factories which inake wooden house furnishings of various sorts. 

 The industry has important resources in the rich forests which 

 exist in almost everj' part of the State. In Bohemia and Moravia 

 are forests of oak, walnut, and cherry, and in Slovakia there are 

 maple and ash trees. 



One of the difficulties which the trade faced after the close of 

 the war was the centering in Austria of the veneering plants. In 

 order to make the country self- supporting in this respect, two 

 thoroughly modern and w^ell-equipped factories for making veneer- 

 ing have been established in Czechoslovakia, but they are not yet 

 In operation. Most of the furniture factories are up to date in 

 their outfits. They also have the advantage of skilled artisans, 

 whose hand labor is no small element in the w^ork. Recently a 

 movement was set on foot to introduce national designs into the 

 furniture for export trade. Samples of goods of this sort w^ere ex- 

 hibited at the Prague Fair last spring. — Trade Commissioner D. 

 L. Breed, Prague, In reports U. S. Department of Commerce,
