There may be some consolation, in | viewing the tattered worlid of today, to i I6ok back upon Georgian England and realize that a tangled, often hopelcm.' political situation existed then too. To remember that Chippendale and Sher-' aton, Hepplewnite and Shearer and the Brother; Adam lived and workea; amid a world picture that must often have looked, to them, as discquraging as our own political perspective, Yet out of it all, life managed to rock along and produce the while a pattern of life that we draw upon to this day. For no century has created a repertoire of architectural and decorative design to! be compared to that bequeathed oy Georgian England. There is a beautiâ€" ful simplicity, a classic dignity about the houses and the furniture that inâ€" evitably would have become almost a. denominator of ornament. ! Vivacity and Wit ' And so, if your 18th century English room locks the worse for wear, the problem of refurbishing is basically an easy one, for the furniture itself has such satisfying enduring distinction. But when a room with perfectly good furniture slumps into a decorative rut, even without being actually down at the heel, don‘t forget that it can grow stale and dull, like a person without vivacity and wit. Usually this hapâ€" pens when this essentially lovely furâ€" niture is put into a setting that can only be described as ordinary. Entireâ€" ly correct, perhaps, but commonplace. Walls that are ivory or light green. A taupe rug or else a Sarouk. Draperies of unimaginative colour, probably tco skimpy "and tied back like wisps of neglected hair. Lamps that are toOo small and rather dowdy. Upholstery fabrics that make no point one way or the cther. There‘s nothing drastic the matter with a room like that, but like a handsome woman who is carelessly dressed, such a room isn‘t fair to the furniture. But what to do, and where to beginâ€"thezse are the questions.
