A SETTING FOR ANTIQUES 
In the home of W. R. Coe, at Oyster Bay, L. /., 
many distinguished interiors have been created 
by the use of rare and beautiful antiques. 
The architecture and arrangement of the rooms 
give these pieces the authentic setting that is 
desirable. Thus, in one of the halls the ceil¬ 
ing is paneled in oak which creates the proper 
environment for the ancient carved doors, the 
Gothic tapestries that hang on either side and 
the oak Jacobean tables in front of them. This 
is one of some fifty-seven rooms furnished by 
Charles of London. Another interior from the 
Coe house forms the first page of the Little 
Portfolio of Good Interiors in this issue
