AMERICAN HOMES AND GARDENS 



Xlll 



THOMAS CHIPPENDALE 

 inherited ability as a wood car- 

 ver and cabinet maker, and pos- 

 sessed inspiration. Within little more 

 than a quarter of a century he grew 

 in popularity until his "shop" was a 

 fashionable center in London, and 

 therefore in Europe. Discriminatingly 

 able, with a wonderful sense of value 

 in design and execution, he touched 

 nothing he did not better. 



Q If you have a genuine Chippendale 

 piece you know what it is worth; you 

 know the workmanship it called for, 

 too. Our workmen, many of whom 

 have been with us for more than forty 

 years, make faithful studies of Chip- 

 pendale's best efforts. We often say 

 that they think the thoughts and work 

 with the hands of the old masters in 

 furniture. In their productions you 

 secure the spirit of Chippendale. 



Q We will send you free our "Trav- 

 elogue" on Chippendale, or for five 

 two-cent stamps our entire series of 

 "Travelogues in Furniture." 



Q Berkey &■ Gay furniture is sold in 

 the better furniture stores throughout 

 the United States. In addition to the 

 display on their floors, our dealers are 

 supplied with our complete portfolio 

 of direct photogravures, showing our 

 entire line of upwards of five thous- 

 and pieces of high-grade furniture. 



Q "Character in Furniture", our de luxe book on 

 period studies, is mailed to you for fifteen two- 

 cent stamps. It is very interesting.
