Excerpt from The Delineator, Vol. 53: A Journal of Fashion, Culture and Fine Arts; January, 1899

A corner showing an alcove window' and an entrance to another apartment is cleverly produced in the second illustration. The cosy corner having a deep window background is especially attractive and novel, and the low broad seat suggests a delightful resting-place. The seat is upholstered in an Oriental fabric showing bril liant colorings. Pillows to correspond would be an essential feature. At the top of this seat is placed a grille which serves the double purpose of ornamenta tion and protection for the window. Shades are used directly against the window, while falling from a pole attached behind the cornice is a drapery of heavy silk harmoniously blending with the colors in the seat cover ing. At one end of the doorway is built a fitment at the top of which a Moorish grille is attractively placed; an open space intervenes, and then a lattice grille is adjusted beneath. In this lower grille an Open ing is made with a shelf upon which rests a vase. The work below is close and solid. A drapery of silk like that used in the window falls from a pole at the top of the grille across the doorway. From the ceiling directly in front of the door is hung a gorgeous Oriental lantern whichshedsvari-colored light. The walls are hung with dark-red cartridge paper having a frieze and wainscoting relieved by green and gold.
