^u m >Hr^r-^ ?he TQ\brRmm\vn% of <**> the Hampton Shops BELIEVING the expression of intuitive artistic sense evidenced by the homes of our patrons to he a reflection of a wide cultural development in this country, we established a few years ago a notable exhibit in the spacious galleries of our building at 18 Elast 50th Street. This ever-changing exhibit has been constantly enlarged and now includes delightful interiors so varied as to represent each worth-while phase of decoration and to offer full seope for meeting the individual preferences of each client. The Hampton Decorators put at your command not only their technical skill and discriminating knowledge of subtle details in the selection and grouping of harmonious furniture, textiles, lighting fixtures and acces? sories, but also their world-wide resources for the collection of rare antiques, beautiful fabrics, tapestries, rugs and bibelots. Their unusual understanding of adapting fine old paneling, mantels and decorative backgrounds to archi? tectural settings of today, and also their unequaled equipment for making worthy reproductions and adaptations of the masterpieces of the old design? ers are of avail to you. Rare antiques are constantly being gathered by our connoisseurs from early Italian villas, from half-forgotten castles and old chateaux as well as from those delightful English homes built in the eighteenth century. We have found this collection o? fine antiques a constant source of inspira? tion to our designers and cabinet-workers in making reproductions and adaptations. Hampton reproductions and adaptations are made from woods selected with discriminating care, seasoned and combined with an under? standing of their merits for each purpose and for resisting the unusual cli? matic conditions in this country. The Hampton Shops productions are there? fore a permanent investment of enduring beauty, which will become treasured heirlooms in the future. Each piece is unique in being exclusive to our own collection and not duplicated or procurable through any other source.
