The patinated condition, in fact, constitutes not only a hall-mark, but an added beauty, just as an old-fashioned lawn excels all those of modern creation, given similar conditions and surroundings. T\this falling short may be due to one or more of a host of reasons. The example may have been neglected or have stood in a damp or an exposed position, such as a stable, a barn, or an outhouse, and in mentioning this it IS cui'ious how old Jacobean chests, for instance, are frequently found in stables acting as corn-bins.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old English Furniture and Its Surroundings: From the Restoration to the Regency In many cases, however, they are not seen to the best advantage, because they are only too often arranged in a milieu which is totally unsuited for them, and thus not only is the general effect less good than it should be, but the beauty of the individual pieces is obscured.

Fine pieces are, of course, fine anywhere, but when placed in their right environment new beauties show themselves, while others, though individually less beautiful, may be invaluable when filling their proper purpose in a well thought out scheme.
