In the choice and selection of woods, as well as in design and contour, this suite is fairly stamped with the atmosphere and romance of these stirring and swashbuckling days of English history. True to the craftsmanship of the day are the bulbous and deeply fluted legs. The drawer and door fronts are of butt walnut, handsomely figured and skillfully matched. On the doors of the cabinet pieces there is a distinctive octangular-shaped panel of Pollard oak, embellished by a shaped onlay.of pearwood, closely grained and ebonized. The drawer and door pulls are of maple, effecting a pleasing brownish color tone, usually acquired only by the aging of time. The tops and sides are of richly grained walnut, while the posts, rails and legs are of selected gumwood. Drawers are dustproof, and the finish an"open-grained waxed finish, adding its beauty and thoroughly in keeping with the design and style. AYER & CO.
