The Importance of 
Proper “Scale” in 
Furniture and Decoration 
simple or 
elaborate as desired, grads upon request. 
7%HE success of a room from the decorative view- 
point depends more upon the proper proportions 
of its appointments than upon the Period represented 
by the Furniture or the woods in which it is wrought— 
{If Obviously, the graceful, slender-legged Furniture 
produced in France and England during the late 
XVIII Century is admirably adapted to the moderate 
size Chamber, while the sturdy oaken pieces of Jacobean 
days and the robust styles of the Italian Renaissance 
find congenial surroundings only in rooms of large 
dimensions. 
^JT Whatever your problem, its solution may be 
reached by a visit to these interesting Galleries— 
and at no prohibitive cost. Here, indeed, the 
extensive exhibits encompass every historic epoch, as 
well as adaptations of modern inspiration which find 
so charming a setting in the modest country house or 
town apartment.
