MIRRORS AS DECORATIONS 
They Increase the Apparent Size of the Room and Enliven 
the Furniture Group 
North end 
In this grouping 
of chairs, cup- 
board, old gilt 
lamp and small 
accessories the 
mirror is a neces¬ 
sary factor. Its 
painted panel adds 
the richness of 
color. Lee Porter,

North end 
Above a console in the dining 
room a French paneled mirror 
reflects the silver and gives a spot 
of light to the wall. Lee Porter,

A painted con¬ 
sole with a 
marbleized top, 
a pair of paint¬ 
ed wooden can¬ 
dlesticks — and 
above it the 
mirror with 
painted frame 
and panel. 
These make 
a dignified liv¬ 
ing room group 
The apex of the furniture group 
below is an old gilt Spanish mir¬ 
ror, a worthy crown to the cas- 
sone and its interesting decorative 
accessories
