Grand home furnishing - It is the lack of general knowledge which
makes it possible for furniture built on amazingly bad lines to be
sold masquerading under the name of some great period.
The customer soon becomes bewildered, and, unless he has a decided
taste of his own, is apt to get something which will prove a
white elephant on his hands. One must have some standard of comparison,
and the best and simplest way is to study the great work of the past.
To study its rise and climax rather than the decline; to
know the laws of its perfection so that one can recognize the
exaggeration which leads to degeneracy.
This ebb and flow is most interesting: the feeling the way at the
beginning, ever growing surer and surer until the high level of
perfection is reached; and then the desire to "gild the lily"
leading to over-ornamentation, and so to decline.
However, the germ of good taste and the sense of truth and
beauty is never dead, and asserts itself slowly in a transition period,
and then once more one of the great periods of grand home furnishing
decoration is born.
