color with hand-painted ovals 
PAINTED FURNITURE 
With the accession of George ill to the throne of England, paint as an embellishment for 
Furniture became the vogue. Thus, in many of the finest examples, the Furniture of that period 
was painted in various colors with surface decorations in tints, the latter work frequently being 
done by eminent artists of the day, such as Angelica Kauffmann and Pergolesi. How beautifully 
this method of decoration lent itself to the classic lines of Adam Furniture is well exemplified 
in the piece illustrated. 
The above Table fashioned by us in the Adam style with exquisitely hand-painted ovals, is 
an example of the fidelity to historic traditions which characterizes each piece in our magnificent 
collection of hand-made Furniture in all the celebrated styles.
