For And About Women

styles creates a truly elegant dining atmosphere.
The simplicity of the glass table and buffet and
the decorative framed mirrors allows the beauty
of the oriental rug and grass cloth wall covering
to be played for all they’re worth.
More And More Glass Used
In All Furniture Styles
The furniture industry today
is in a state of flux, so every
type of furniture actually can
be considered “in style.”
Heavy float glass is an
excellent choice of furniture
material since it blends
beautifully with any style.
Glass-top tables and
mirrors immediately come to
mind when thinking of glass in
furniture. However, many
manufacturers have in
troduced some interesting and
different glass applications
for their most recent lines.
Furniture being designed
today can be categorized into
one of five basic style
categories: early American,
traditional, Oriental,
Mediterranean and con
temporary.
Early American furniture
maintains the charm and
simplicity of the United
State’s historic past.
In the new lines, crown glass
has reappeared. Dating back
to colonial times, crown glass
then was made by blowing a
globe of glass, heating it and
spinning it until it was flat
tened into a slightly-bowed
disc. Today’s crown glass is
cast in a special mold. It is
being shown in special
reproductions, such as a
colonial breakfront.
'. The focal point of every
pioneer kitchen was a large,
heavy wood table. This style is
back today, but as a heavy
glass table resting on a rough
wood base.
t
Mirrors make their mark in
the early American revival as
well. An antique secretary
reproduction features
smoked-glass mirrors in the
window areas. Round
Regency period mirrors —
characterized by convex glass
and a spread eagle perched on
top of the gold frame — and
being shown as accessories in
many early American room
settings.
The traditional style has its
roots in Europe — France,
England and Italy — and is
characterized by each
country’s most-well-loved
designs.
In one line, a traditionally
styled desk is topped with
smoked glass. A graceful
dining table consists of an oval
piece of glass, with rounded
edges, resting on a simulated
tortoise-shell base.
“Curio tables,” wood boxes
with clear glass covers, are a
traditional offering for end
and coffee tables . Knick
knacks and other small
mementos can be put into the
tables for display without
dust.
Although it’s been around
for centuries, Oriental is the
big news in furniture design
today. The nation’s new
relations with China un
doubtedly are a major reason
for increased interest.
This style includes glass-top

tables with chrome bases
fashioned to resemble bam
boo. Wood applied with
bamboo moldings frame long,
narrow mirrors. Chinese
Chippendale, a mid-18th
century style combining
Chinese decorations with
English proportions, currently
is very popular as a mirror
style.
Glass has been used ef
fectively as a table top on a
wrought-iron base and as
mirrors with matching
sconces. One manufacturer
has put a tiny mirror on the
base of each sconce which
accompanies an attractively
framed mirror.
A contemporary look is
furniture characterized by
clean lines, functionalism and
an elimination of inessential
detail. Often considered very
innovative or “avant garde,”
this style blends extremely
well with the other four fur
niture styles.
For example, chrome-and
glass tables and shelves,
which once were put only in
modernly-furnished rooms,
can be seen today in many
traditionally-furnished rooms,
and they look beautiful.
New contemporary glass
applications include tiny
mirror squares attached to
decorative mirror frames and
cube tables, as well as glass
wall plaques and tables which
are painted brilliant colors.
