"It was impossible to forget that the (model) rooms were exhibition rooms only"
"The daily association (with furniture) alone can bring that(friendship)"
The chapter on rugs is excellent. It talks about all the kind of antique rugs available. How each is different. What scheme to use if you are using a patterned one. Why be careful with a plain one. Some of the methods of making rugs are very well explained.. like the differences between a Chenille and a Brussels
Even the chapter on furniture is very informative in terms of the prevalent kinds of wood, their costs and change in the styles over time.
This book is best enjoyed looking up images of all the objects mentioned.
