HOUSE & GARDEN 
A PAGE OF DANISH INTERIORS 
It is aizvays illiimi)iating to learn hozv housezvhcs and decorators in other lands arrange and furnish their 
rooms. So from time to time zue will shozv modern interiors from foreign countries. These from 
Denmark zi'crc assembled by Georg Brochner, House & Oakden’s Danish Correspondent 
The view above and that to the left are in the home of 
y. y. Dorph. a Danish artist, and were decorated by him. 
The fireplace is especially interestiny because of its lines, 
both the mantel shelf and hearth being curved. The 
beauty of the stone is thrown into relief by the cream- 
tinted. panelled, walls. A stenciled frieze repeats the color 
found in the rug and hangings. The design of the chairs 
is also interesting 
So many atrocities were 
committed in the name of 
the over-door grill that 
when one finds one of real 
beauty, it is ivorthy of 
comment. N. Dorph has 
created a pleasing rhythm 
in the curves of this over¬ 
door decoration. The light¬ 
ing fixture is very like the 
type now generally seen in 
derm an houses. .1 high 
table decoration is seen 
here; American decorators 
are coming to this 
The room to the right 
might be in a New York 
home decorated only yes¬ 
terday. For a matter of 
fact, it is at Liselund in 
Denmark and was deco¬ 
rated a hundred years ago. 
Ileppleiohite chairs in 
white loere used. The room 
was panelled ivith repeat 
floral decorations. A 
wrought-iron o r wooden 
wainscot runs around the 
base of the room. Here 
also we see the niche, the 
decorated door trim and 
the crystal chandelier that 
are coming back into favor
