Racks That Match Tables

1910

Newest Kind Made of Thin White Wood, Covered with Fancy Material

Handsome racks can be bought in brass and different woods to match various tables. Those in burnt wood are also popular, with those who like this form of decoration.

So much of this decorating is done by amateurs that it is one of the first kind of rests chosen to make. Far newer, however, are the racks made of thin white wood and covered with fancy cretonnes, embroidered brocades or other materials.

The wood part is made to slide like the ordinary racks, and is either painted white and enameled or is stained to correspond with table, on which it is to be used.

Even easier to make are the racks with two ends and under slides with no connecting rods. Each end has an upright with rounded or square angles to be slipped under the end books.

These frames may be made of wood or heavy cardboard, and are covered with green burlap, bound with dull gold braid and have flat brass ornaments pasted on each end.
