The simple, austere dignity of the Georgian Period 
might easily have been too severe. ^ But lingering 
memories of the colorful Renaissance in France and 
Italy softened that austerity and effected a happy 
combination of styles. ^ In those leisurely days, 
too, the master cabinetmaker took rank with the 
great artists,— and today we are recapturing his 
gracious spirit in the faithful reproductions hand- 
wrought by our community of master cabinet¬ 
makers at historic Fort Lee atop the Palisades. 
T here R often something uncompromisingly rigid and 
self-conscious about a so-called “Period” room. And in 
a Living Room, any stiffness is peculiarly unfortunate. But 
a judicious mingling of styles in good taste will always create 
the more interesting ensemble. 
Here one may command the practical knowledge of an 
organization which for half a century has proven itself qual¬ 
ified to aid in carrying out any decorative scheme—embrac¬ 
ing all the incidentals—however simple or elaborate. 
The policy of moderate prices always maintained by this 
establishment was never more strongly in evidence than 
it is today.
