THE FUNDAMENTAL ESSENTIALS 
IN FINE FURNITURE 
Good design, proportion and scale are all indispensable, whether it be a reproduction of some 
Eighteenth Century masterpiece, or an adaptation of the style of such designers as Chippendale, 
Sheraton or Hepplewhite to meet the requirements of the present day. 
The beauty and charm of a splendid design can be materially enhanced by the use of rare and 
choice woods in varying grains, ingeniously combined. 
These features as well as thoroughness in workmanship will be found in Sloane furniture. It is 
made under the most favorable conditions. Our cabinet makers and carvers are imbued with 
the spirit of the artisans of old times and are finding real pleasure in making furniture as well as 
furniture can possibly be made. This personal interest on the part of the workman can be seen 
in the perfection of the finished article.
