Good and Bad Furniture.

The line between good ornament and bad ornament is the line between beauty and ugliness. The only good furniture is that which is both beautiful and useful. All furniture that lacks either beauty or usefulness is bad furniture. Furniture that is well constructed, of good shape, and excellent finish, is good furniture no matter how elaborately it may be decorated. Furniture of bad shape or bad finish, Is bad furniture no matter how free from mereterlcious mounts and carvings.—George Leland |Hunter in Country Life in America.
