A 1912 essay reviews rug choices from Oriental to Wilton carpets. It notes a shift toward plain colors, recommends Saxony and Anglo-Persian rugs, praises rag and grass rugs for durability and cost, and describes Navajo and Madagascar straw braided designs with prices and sizes.
The article surveys artware shops showcasing beauty and utility in lamps, vases, bowls, and candle sticks. French race lamps, Foskin enameled vases, Japanese pottery lamps, and hand carved boudoir pieces blend decorative flair with function. Italian majolica revives antique forms while American potteries like Van Briggie emphasize simplicity and color range. Glass-lined trays, Japanese prints, brocades, and embroidery bottoms add variety across home accents.
