Flemish Oak
The "RambIer's"
Visit to the
Furniture Store

Everybody remembers Old Nenna in the
Chicago Exposition with its beer garden,
and quaint houses and queer shops.
In the Antwerp Exposition of 1893 there
was an old AntaVe,p show gotten up on the
Old Vienna principle. In that show old
Flemish furniture had a great part.
The head of Wanamaker's Furniture
Store bought all the furniture, but before
the delivery fire destroyed all save very
few pieces When they came here some
enterprsing furniture manufacturers bought
them for samples.
From these models few copies were
made. The Rambler has seen single pieces
in the shops of the so-called exclusive deco
rators - reproduced from the Antwerp
models. In such environment you would
assume their antiquity and reverence them
accordingly. But they were like the fre-
quent copies of paintings of the old masters
Just as good as the originals to look upon,
but lacked the favor of the heirs of all the
ages when you discovered their youth.
Did you ever stop to think of the COM
mercial value of sentimentP Scores of mill
ions of dollars are annually expended upon
it. 1t is easy to pay Dig prices for it, but
it is often dead stock when you want to sell
it. This fits the Flemish Oak Furniture.
The Rambler learned some interesting
facts about the black oak pieces now shown
at Wanamaker's and puts them down here
for your information. Seven years have
come and have gone since the Antwerp ex-
hibition, but aot until the present season
has complete line of oak furniture in
Flemish style been made. Wanamakers
collection is notable.
It appeals to the artistic fancy and salts
fies refined taste. The diuing-room COM
mands black oak. Extension tables with
round ends that range in price from $40 to
SIPS. Side tables that are like little buff
fets, and lead up to stately sideboards and
dining-room chairs-too many to talk about.
Halls and libraries compete with dining
rooms for black oak favor. But you know,
the Rambler is not writing a catalogue.
Sets of settles, with two hall chairs, single
hall chairs, of sorts enough to please the
most critical, crotchcty, crank pedestals
and taborets. library tables and chairs.
Some of the seats have rush bottom.
called mission style, but why the Rambler
doesn't know; some have enameled dec
orative backs like pottery pictures, some
have carved relefs of old Dutch pictures by
Van Ostade and others; some have leather
seats and painted backs. Many forms ap-
pear in the carvings. spiral posts, grotesque
grifins, animal heads, monastic designs
carnival of carving runs through the coll
lection.
The Rambler has described nothing
didn't intend to. If. however, he should
see in your city home or summer cottage
some of these solemn and beautiful bits of
Furniture to which your interest has been
melted by this scrappy screed he will feel
that he has done a good stroke of mission
ary advertising for the benefit of yourself
and Wanamaker's. And then, too. the
Rambler will have the satisfaction that h.
has led you to economy. not extravaganza.
