It was during their reign that the master cabinet-maker, Thomas Chippendale; the reconstruction architect, Sir Christopher Wren; Josiah Wedgewood, William Kent and others were busy creating the finest in English designs. These dining room pieces are constructed of genuine ma hogany, the finest available today. They are assembled in the best manner that modern methods of mortised and dowel construction afford. Fine laminated construction is used for tops, sides and fronts. A carefully hand-rubbed lacquer finish imparts o richness of color that will increase with age. See this all-mahogany group tomorrow.
