THE NOTTINGHAM CORNUCOPIA SOFA 
(Style : Colonial—Adaptation of Early Empire) 
AHE more. you study the picture, the better you will like 
the quaint lines of this jolly, old-fashioned sofa. Note 
how the broad lower and top rails add to its squat, curious 
shape. And the cheerful and varied repetition of the 
“cornucopia” theme, and the cohesion in its design, are un- 
commonly pleasing. As aunion of the useful and beautiful, this 
bonny Sofa is unique. The loose cushion is the last old-time finish- 
ing touch that makes this piece comparable to an old picture. As 
the photograph shows, this Sofa is richly sculpture-carved out of 
solid Honduras mahogany; but it does not show the infinite care 
with which it has been constructed, or the antique ‘“‘ egg-shell” finish. 
Yet, when you consider these specifications, luxurious upholstery, 
its dimensions, the price is MODERATE. 
Length, 91 inches; Height, 34% inches; price, in pi n denim, $128.50 F.O.B., 
New York. Requires 6%3 yrds of 50-inch mterial for covering.
