To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Brass nails or an ornamental brass border were used as edgings for " stuff-over " seats. The " drop-in " seat was not greatly in favour, squab cushions or nailed on upholstery being much more often used. Some chairs of the period are found covered in black horse-hair, which has every appearance of being the original 119 OLD ENGLISH FURNITURE covering, but Chippendale does not mention it among his suggestions. CURTAINS were not indispensable, and where the room was wainscoted and shutters were p...rovided they do not seem to have been used. In those cases where a room was hung with silk or other material they were usually made of the same stuff. In many cases they were of the same fabric as in furniture covers ; thus at one time Mrs. Delany describes her drawing-room as having the curtains and chairs of crimson mohair. Sometimes the curtains drew across the windows by means of rings running on an iron rod, but more frequently they seem to have been looped up to each side of the top of the window-frame when not in use.
