piniBi 
France of the 18 th Century 
had an elegance which, ex¬ 
pressed in furniture, can 
readily be adapted to the 
town or country house of 
today. We find that spirit 
crystalized in this living 
room. The walls are pan¬ 
eled and painted yellow. 
The furniture is of the 
epoch, some pieces being 
pronouncedly Directoire 
Another view of this living 
room shows the gold taf¬ 
feta hangings, the Toile de 
Jouy screen and the cab¬ 
inet painted in dull green. 
The mantel is Italian. On 
the old painted day bed, 
which is gray and gold, is 
a satin cover of striped 
gray and green. Fakes,
