One of The New Reproductions 
For Lovers of ““ODD-BIT FURNISHING” 
THE “SHAWMUT PEDESTAL”—Price $20. 
SOA4{HE NEW FASHION OF FURNISHING the Living Room or Drawing 
Re Room with individual: Chairs, Tables, Pedestals and things—like the 
iN yy parlour of Ursa Major, Ursa Minor and Ursa Minimum, in the story “Little 
Goldenlocks and the Three Bears” —is becoming so vastly popular that the many 
votaries of this delightfully human sort of Odd-Bit Furnishing will appreciate the 
opportunity to secure this charming Pedestal for 
Bric-a-Brac or Statuary, at such a very little price, 
for a piece of Furniture subject to these specifica- 
tions, which we quote from our catalogue-folio 
“FOREFATHERS’ FURNITURE ” :— 
“American-Empire Colonial. To most people there is some- 
thing very agreeable about an octagon shape. This perhaps 
accounts for the popularity of this typically Colonial piece. It 
looks staunch enough to support the heaviest statue or vase, 
which is another attraction to the eye. It is staunch and 
steady enough to bear a very. heavy weight, and this, com- 
bined with its rich mahogany, in medium dark color and egg- 
shell finish, added to its exceptionally low price, makes it 
attractive to the pocket-book. Width at bottom 14% inches; 
Height, 37 inches; Dimensions at top 13 x 13 inches.”
