Furniture Store within the last day, or two.
C
A Virginia
Firéside Chair and Rocker. They are large. deep, and
commodious, the frames of solid Mahogany with high
‘ backs and broad arms, backs and seats upholstered with
Titian velvet in Roman green. 1
These Chairs are correctly named, for in a drawing-
room or library with an open fire they are ideal. The ,, ,
ease and bodily comfort to which they contribute cannot
be estimated. They fit just right, and for dreaming by the
fireside nothing more luxurious could be imagined. Come
and look at them.
