SPECIALLY DESIGNED 



FURNITURE 



TO accomplish successful results in interior decoration, the style employed must 

 find accurate representation in the furniture. 



We maintain at all times a large collection of specially designed furniture, 

 and each piece is a superb example of one of the styles created by the masters who 

 dominated the great periods. In our own wood-working shop we make furniture to 

 order, perfectly reproducing the masterpieces of all periods of decoration. Purity 

 of style and workmanship of the highest order are guaranteed. Sketches of these 

 classic pieces will be prepared by our own designers to suit architects' specifications. 



For any form of interior decoration we offer architects our exceptional facilities, together with our 

 matchless stock of floor coverings, draperies and wall-hangings. Correspondence invited.
