HNE EARLY AMERICAN CABINETRY 
reflected in these Danersk productions makes them choice possessions 
i his Danersk ioivboy — 
means an added touch of 
beauty in any room. Made 
of fine American walnut — 
with herringbone inlays 
around the drawers, and 
justtheright sweepandcurve 
to the legs—this lowboy is 
useful in either dining room 
or living room. 
Danersk Hepplewhite Chair and XVIII Century 
card table. This Danersk reproduction of the Hep¬ 
plewhite Chair is beautifully carved and inlaid. 
The purchaser of antiques often has a dis¬ 
agreeable fear that he has paid for an au¬ 
thenticity that he did not obtain. There 
is no question as to the value and charm of 
these Danersk pieces. They are made by 
Scotch and English cabinet makers, trained 
through years of apprenticeship. 
These pieces, together with other charm¬ 
ing Early American furniture and decora¬ 
tive furniture, may be seen at our Sales 
Rooms in Chicago and New York City. 
Decorators and their clients always welcome.

L ong ago the lowboy was used most often 
as a dressing table. Today it finds a place 
in halls as a console, particularly with a fine 
old mirror above it; in dining rooms as a 
serving table and for silver; and in living 
rooms it is a useful cabinet. 
We bought the original as a document in 
design. Our Danersk copy is a real find— 
a good lowboy of American walnut with 
herringbone inlays around the drawers, 
and just the right sweep and curve to the 
legs! This is much more than just a piece of 
furniture. 
Perhaps one of the most charming bits of 
XVIII Century furniture is a delicate card 
table with double leaf and gateleg. The 
Danersk example is beautifully inlaid with 
exceptionally graceful fluted and turned legs. 
This is most decorative as a console, and 
thoroughly practical for cards. 
Another very fine piece of furniture, and 
one of the most unusual American wing 
chairs—is in the Ives collection. Curly Maple 
covered in old copper print chintz! We 
have made a few of these chairs with close 
fidelity to the best traditions of the cabinet 
maker’s art. Our only change from the orig¬ 
inal is the addition of deep, comfortable 
springs in the seat. The original cannot be 
purchased, but a Danersk copy is worthy of 
preservation as a choice possession. 
An old six-leg highboy with 
trumpet turnings, secret drawer, 
and just the right detail in 
moidding and inlays, is almost 
priceless. We searched New 
England for the finest one we 
could obtain, and this photo¬ 
graph is of the actual original. 
An excellent example of true 
Early American furniture—this 
Danersk highboy is prized by 
decorators.
