Chips: From the Workshop of Gustave Stickley, Syracuse, N. Y., U. S. A (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Chips: From the Workshop of Gustave Stickley, Syracuse, N. Y., U. S. A
The furnisher of the per feet bed-room respects the advice to Phaeton, when he assumed control of the Chariot of the Sun: Thou shalt go safest in the middle course. He avoids anything suggestive of bareness and coldness. He gives to every thing the air of being fitted to its place and of intending permanently to hold that place. And when his task is finished, the room occu pies a position midway between the sleeping room of the antique world and that meeting place of the products of many a es and countries which the modern so-ca ed bed room often becomes under the hand of the decorator. The Greeks and Romans literally took up their beds and walked, from a closet on the north side of their dwellings to another closet on the south side, whenever the winds from the mountains warned them of the a roach of winter. From these closets they e' ted all superfluous and many (in our opinion) necessary articles. We may imagine that the Greeks admitted a press for plaiting their gowns and mantles, and a few vases which served them for bureaux, chests of drawers, and boxes; but neither they nor the Romans had the faintest conception of either comfort or home-life.
