The Windsor set is finished in 
walnut or the beautiful Danersk 
lacquer colors 
T HERE is an inherent romance about Windsor 
chairs that attaches to no other style or period. 
Originated by the wheelwrights of old Windsor in the 
days of Queen Elizabeth, they were an evolution of 
the ancient Saxon stool. The wheelwright added a 
comfortable back built on the principles of a wheel 
with spindles and a bent bow in place of the spokes 
and felloe. He also inserted a splat in the back with 
pierced wheel as the sign of his craft. 
The Danersk Windsor Bed, Chairs and Chaise 
Longue are built according to the true principles of 
ancient handiwork. The posts have long tenons that 
come clear through the seats and are wedged from 
the top. Spindles are hand-split and shaped from 
straight grained hickory. All turnings are made by 
hand and the Chests and Bureaus to go with them 
are of the same early period. The Windsor set is 
finished in rich-toned walnut or the beautiful lacquer 
colors. You can purchase for immediate delivery 
either through your decorator or dealer, or direct. 
Danersk furniture is made for all the rooms of the 
house. The services we render in point of individual 
decorative schemes are without added cost. 
Before you purchase, send for our Danersk C-3 
and visit, if possible, our display of unusual groups, 
finished to go with the new imported fabrics.

Renowned Reproductions of Oriental Rugs 
World’s 
A fabric woven in one piece—an unbroken 
surface in which an unlimited number of colors 
could be used—this has always been the dream 
of the master rug weaver who was striving to 
faithfully reproduce rugs from the Orient. The 
Bengal-Oriental rug bears this hall mark of the 
Oriental, and the greater your knowledge of rugs 
from the Far East the greater will be your appre¬ 
ciation of these splendid reproductions,
