Fabrics as well as furniture became 
classic in design. In the picture on 
the right a Directoire linen grace¬ 
fully drapes a painted bed and makes 
the hangings in a bedroom furnished 
with pieces in this style. Chand¬ 
ler W. Ireland was the decorator 
After the ornamental Louis A'F and 
XVI styles, a reaction set in in favor 
of simpler lines with nothing that 
savored of pomp or royalty. The 
classically graceful Directoire style 
was the outcome. The furniture and 
screen below are in this period.
