The literature states: "This suite follows the lines of the smartest custom made furniture, chromium plated metal playing a prominent part in the design. The proportions are so light and graceful and the colors of the wood so delicate that the effect is unusually feminine and has none of the coldness or masculinity popularly associated with metal. Note that in every case the use of the metal is as structural part of the design. There are no applied metal ornaments. This is the most advanced modern design yet offered in a commercial suite in American. The wood is White Holly inlaid with Paroba, both finished natural.
