I N ENGLAND during the XVIIth Century, the Bedroom furniture 
was really a composite style, combining Jacobean, Elizabethan, and 
Flemish motifs. The Flemish and Elizabethan was somewhat severe 
in treatment, whereas the Jacobean was decidedly ornate. 
As we today study from these periods, we produce designs in perfect keeping with the 
best thought of the period, while adapting them to present day requirements. 
The present trend toward those English styles has re-established Oak as a beautiful wood 
for furniture construction. Oak is a wood of rare dignity and charm, when designed and 
finished in a manner which permits its tint and grain to be enjoyed. 
Our "Travelogue” on Flanders furniture Is a short treatise on these 
XVIIth Century styles. It will be sent free upon request. Our complete 
set of period '"Travelogues” is mailed you for five twO'Cent stamps.
