Lacquer Cabinet in the Queen A nne style, by Kensington 
I A.CQUER furniture was first introduced 
.v into England in Charles Second’s reign 
and was still in favor in the time of Sheraton 
over one hundred years later. Save for the 
brief period of the Chinese craze about the 
middle of the 18th Century, this lacquer 
furniture had little direct relation with con¬ 
temporary styles. Yet for all its brilliant color 
and exotic character it seemed always to 
sound an harmonious if contrasting note. 
To-day in almost any interior where a 
strong point of interest is desired to raise the 
decorative scheme above the commonplace a 
piece of lacquer work may be introduced in 
the same way most successfully. 
Kensington craftsmanship and fidelity in 
design give to Kensington reproductions of 
this furniture the character and the decorative 
quality which are the charm of thejintique. 
Kensington furniture is made in all the deco¬ 
rative styles appropriate for American homes.
