"Ship Ulysses of Salem entering 
Marseilles March 23, 1864. Un¬ 
doubtedly original pieces from 
which certain of our Danersk de¬ 
signs of 18 th Century furniture 
have been reproduced, were 
brought to our shores in this and 
others of the early sailing vessels.” 
SHIP ULYSSES OF SALEM 
Danersk Early American Furniture 
PENDLETON GROUP 
P EOPLE will travel farther to buy 
the right furniture for their homes 
than for any other product. This is as it 
should be, for while expenditure for 
clothes and pleasures may aggregate 
more in the long run, yet furniture 
should be a permanent expression of 
good taste and a lasting contribution to 
our comfort and happiness. 
To understand good furniture it is 
really necessary to see it, and for that 
reason we have opened sales rooms in 
Chicago and Los Angeles in addition to 
our New York display. For example, no 
illustration could convey an idea of the 
soft, mellow tones of old maple on the 
Early American Pendleton group here 
illustrated. It contains in reality a small 
collection of veritable treasures, compris¬ 
ing a true butterfly table; a quaint Slaw 
Bed; a rare chintz covered rocker, the 
original of which was once the property 
of Joel Barlow, poet and diplomat of the 
Revolution; and other pieces, each of 
which has an interesting story. Refine¬ 
ments of turnings and designs,—discus¬ 
sion of joinery and construction mean 
much to the purchaser who takes his 
home seriously. 
We hope you will call and discuss the de¬ 
tails of your rooms, whether for special color 
schemes of decorated furniture and glazed 
chintz for a guest room or breakfast room; 
18th Century Sheraton and Duncan Phyfe de¬ 
signs in mahogany and satinwood for a formal 
dining room; or richly panelled Elizabethan 
Chests, refectory tables and luxurious up¬ 
holstered furniture. All we offer is made in 
our factories at Stamford, Conn. Decorators 
and their clients are always welcome.
