Stephens 52 PERIOD FURNITURE The present exhibition is not arranged with an idea of giving a history of furniture but is chosen with a view of presenting those perio...ds whose characteristics were on the whole good in design. Many periods were purposely omitted and only those included which were distinguished by good line, craftsmanship and decoration. In making a selection, it has been our aim to show original pieces where they were available but where antique pieces were not to be had, good replicas were secured showing the decorative tendencies prevalent at the time of the various periods.
