AMERICAN HOMES AND GARDENS 



65 



the Features of the Living-room 



An Empire Sofa, Chippendale Chair and Sheraton Screen Are Some of the Furnishings of the Drawing-room 



by a fine design carried out in a plaster archway supported on fluted columns with Ionic capitals. The open fireplace, built of red 

 brick, has a hearth of red tile and a Colonial mantel. A quaint Colonial bookcase is built in at one side of the fireplace. Fresh from 

 the hand of the builder, the room must have presented an effective, but severe, elegance, which was soon dispelled by the artistic 

 furnishings with which it is supplied. The soft green draperies at the windows over thinner curtains of white Madras lend a pleas- 

 ing tone to the room, while the fine old Empire sofa at one end, the old banjo clock, the two Empire tea tables, the corner chair 

 of Chippendale make, the thousand-legged table, the Sheraton side table, the old desk and Windsor chair in the den, carry out the 



njue Effect Sought in the Den, Which Is Separated 

 f :hway and Is Full of Quaint Comfort 



An Empire Sofa, Banjo Clock, Windsor Chair and a Thousand-legged Table Are a Part 



of the Living-room Furniture
