AMERICAN HOMES AND GARDENS 



IX 



THE JACOBEAN PERIOD 

 dates from the early reign of 

 James I, and may be said to 

 cover the 1600s, except perhaps for 

 their last ten years. There was not 

 only an enduring spirit in Jacobean 

 furniture, but an enduring quality of 

 wood and workmanship. 



(| Today the trend in architecture 

 as well as in taste has swung around 

 again to the point where there is a 

 wholly commendable desire for the 

 Jacobean feeling in furniture. 

 There is a cherishable beauty in a 

 properly executed Jacobean study. 



Q[ Our workmen, first of all, are versed 

 in true period ideals. We believe it 

 would be impossible for them to make 

 an unfaithful period study. Their treat' 

 ment of the Jacobean spirit is admirable. 

 Seldom have such beautiful specimens 

 of handiwork, or true craftsmanship, 

 been produced. We are glad to send 

 you our "Travelogue" on the Jacobean 

 period free, or we will send you our 

 complete set of period "Travelogues"
