Quote:
The designer and architect Andrew Jackson Downing believed that "nothing bespoke a householder's taste and status as much as a 'handsome etagere', "He preferred one with a center handsome mirror flanked by shelves for display of articles of virtue~~bouquets of flowers, curiosities or other fine indulges of a person's taste".
~~~~~I think he would have approved of this fine example~~~~~~~~~~
