THE HOUSE FURNISHER’S 
BULLETIN 
New York is the market place of the world 
and into its shops, great and small, pour all the 
best products of the artisan, the decorator, and 
the furniture maker. All that goes toward mak¬ 
ing the home of good taste, may be purchased in 
this city. To give the readers advantage of the 
city’s shops, the sharp eyes of experts are to be 
constantly employed in ferreting out for this col¬ 
umn all that goes to make the house distinctive. 
T HE new style reading lamp that has 
a floor standard about four feet in 
height, and is, of course, fitted for elec¬ 
tricity, seems to have proved itself so use¬ 
ful that it is made in a great variety of dif¬ 
ferent designs. There are not only the 
handsome lamps of ornamental bronze 
with exquisitely colored shades of favrile 
glass, but much less expensive styles are 
shown that are for use rather than orna¬ 
ment. These include lamps with wooden 
standards and the regulation reading 
shades of tin, done all in white; some that 
are painted in ivory shades and are rather 
more ornamental, and others with plain 
standards of greenish bronze, and green 
reading shades. All of these lamps, which 
are tall enough to come well over the top 
of the ordinary easy chair, are made so that 
the light can lie raised or lowered, and the 
shades are movable and can be turned at 
any angle. 
A N up-to-date edition of the useful sil¬ 
ver chest is shown in a mahogany 
table that makes a handsome piece of fur¬ 
niture and still answers the same purpose 
as the chest. It is rather plain in design, 
with slender legs, and is about the height 
and size of the average serving table and 
can be used as such if desired. The top 
lifts up, showing a compartment about six 
inches deep, with a sliding tray, and fit¬ 
tings for the various pieces of flat silver, 
the capacity being just about the same as 
that of a good-sized chest. The table has a 
stout lock, but except when the top is up 
it looks like an ordinary side table and 
would never be suspected of concealing 
silver. 
A MONG the new ornamental mirrors 
are a number with plain frames of 
solid mahogany and panels inset with col¬ 
ored prints, a combination that is most sat¬ 
isfactory and attractive. A long, narrow 
mirror has a beautifully colored copy of 
the Duchess of Gainsborough in a panel 
at the top, and a larger mirror for use over 
a mantelpiece is in three panels, a mirror 
occupying the large center one and copies 
of Reynolds’ portraits of children at either 
side. In the same collection is a mirror 
with a gold frame, evidently a reproduction 
of an antique, for the frame is beautifully 
proportioned, with small columns at either 
side, and in the panel at the top is the crud¬ 
est sort of landscape imaginable.
