Varnish only on order. Oil finish where required. Some English designs are followed in cabinet and chair work, and mirrors. For the most part my furniture is American in origin, and feeling. Antiques Almost no pieces are shown, since my collection, by the generosity of Mr. J. P. Morgan, was given to the Hartford Atheneum, where it may be freely seen.
Any antique bought is for copying.
Time Required Standard articles are usually in stock, in standard finish. A few, the safer so to treat, are reserved unfinished. The rarest pieces may or may not be in stock. If the matter is left to me, the finest rooms, or entire dwellings can be supplied immediately. Special patterns, unless they follow the spirit of good design, will not be made.
