summary:
  [Illustration: Plate III--LATE TUDOR BED With motifs which characterised early Jacobean carving, dated 1593] The pity of it is, that no sooner had the artistic eye of the true collector begun to search for seventeenth century furniture than the commercial eye of the modern manufacturer began to make hideous variations on its salient features. Three of the four chairs in the plates illustrate this so well that it is worth while to make a comparison with old Italian chairs.

  Doubts have even been expressed regarding certain pieces in the great national collections; in fact the art of the forger in regard to old French furniture, of which specimens change hands at anything from £1,000 to £10,000, has reached a very high level of excellence, having almost been elevated to one of the fine arts.

  In repapering old rooms with imperfect ceilings it is easy to disguise this by using a paper with a small design in the same tone. In period rooms often beautiful light or heavy mouldings entirely frame the three sides of the fireplace when it is of wood.

  Their history perhaps belongs rather to that of painters than of our present subject; but they are too much mixed up with eighteenth century furniture not to find mention even in a sketch like the present. Much early eighteenth century furniture was bombé, or rolled about in curious curves or undulations of surface, partly to display the skill of the cabinet-makers, and partly to show off the marquetry, which formed its only decoration.
