ITALIAN RENAISSANCE FURNITURE 
The Furniture of this period exerted a strong influence over the pro¬ 
ductions of Spain, Flanders and Germany, and even of France and 
England. 
Sumptuous in form and made of the most costly materials to the order of the Princes of 
Florence, Rome, Venice, Milan and other capitals of Italy, this Furniture, with its wonder¬ 
ful carving, possesses an artistic character which has never been excelled. 
In the Division of Furniture and Decoration, on the Third Floor of the New Store of 
W. & J. Sloane, there is assembled a most interesting collection of Italian Renaissance 
Furniture, including genuine masterpieces of rare quality, as well as faithful reproductions 
of some of the best examples of that period. The replicas are notable for their superior 
Workmanship, every piece being entirely hand-made. 
Furniture in other Styles is also well represented.
