MICH.• SEPTEMBER 24. 1910 Issued Weekly OLD AGE EXEMPTS FROM TARIFF DUTY New Law Furnishes a CuStOlliSHouse Guarantee for Antique Furniture That Has Passed the Century Mark. The appraIser's YVdlehou"edt \\ ash111gtonand Chll~topher streets IS filled Just no\\; wIth ~o-lalled antique furmture brought to this country by returnmg tounsts and Imported by the dealers along upper FIfth avenue Under the new tanff the matter of admitting old fmmture free of duty has come to have much greater sIgnificance than It dId formerl} If furmture IS found to possess artIstIc value and be more than a hundred years old It IS entitled to free admissIOn The Importance of thIS pro-vision to dealers 111antIques both here and abroad IS that ad-mission free of duty constItutes a guarantee of genuineness which is of great value to the owner. Deputy Appraiser Wanamaker saId recently that he did not believe one-fifth of the furmture brought to thIS country as antique and entItled to enter free of duty on account of its age was to be admItted legally under that claim. "We demand vhe most posItIve proof of its genuineness," he said, "and even then are not satIsfied with the declarations of the owners, but have our own experts to pass on every ob- Ject that come~ 111. Onl} those objects WhIChare genuine be-yond all doubt are admitted under the terms of the new law." Often it happens that a woman purchaser goes into one of the old furniture shops on the avenue and asks If there happens to be a set of chaIrs of Chinese Chippendale, for instance. The polite salesman is dIstressed that there is nothing of the k111d on hand. But if the customer is not in a hurry there will soon be something 111the store that will suit her. "We have just now in the custom house," the polite clerk Will say, "a wonderful set of Chinese Chippendale chairs that formerly belonged to old Lmd "Norocks," whose furnlture has just been sold at private sale. One of onr buyers was fortunate enough to get hold of the famous Chippendale chairs and they are now in the custom house." It is not in the least improbable that there are some chairs in the custom house, although most polite young clerks of this kind would not consider themselves boun\!. to stick so closely to the facts. In many cases the clerk might know where there was such a set of chairs, send for it on commission and sell it to the customer. Or he might even know where there was a good re-production of such a set and sell them as the original property of the late Late "Norocks" Such things have been known to happen in many shops, and the mention of the custom house in such transactions has come to mean to the initiated that-the shopkeeper is sparring for wind. "\Vhatever the dealer mdY be up to," saId the manager of one of the e",tablishments on FIfth avenue which has been strict-ly honest 111its deal111gswith its customers in such matters, "there IS now one positive means of protection against imposi-tion If there IS such furniture in the appraiser's warehouse and it has been admitted free of charge it is genuine. That is the result of the present law and its administration by Appraiser Thomas, whose judgment 111such matters IS accepted WIllingly by all who are really anxious for an honest opil11on. He is sucT:! a well qualified expert in the matter of old furl11ture that it could have no better indorsement of its genuineness than ad-mission free of duty by him." Antique furniture of the commercial kind is like many hu-man bemgs who are rarely entirely good or entirely bad. Old furniture, as it is called, IS rarely altogether fake or altogether genuine. Most pieces are composed of some old parts and some new ones to supplement what has been lost or destroyed. This naturally has raised another question for the experts: if part of a pIece IS old and the rest of it new shall It be passed or shall the \\ hole thing be rejected? Much to the dISgust of importers for sellin1o5it, antique fur-l11ture to be admitted free must be altogether old and cannot be a combination of new and old wood. Of course there are few manufacturers or restorers of these old pieces so unskillful as to put in new wood without having imparted to it by the varied means known to their craft an appearance of old age. This is clone in a variety of ways of which the most usual are exposure to the elements to give the color of antique wood, shooting with birds hot in order to give the impression of wormholes and a num-ber of similar devices. But the expert can detect the difference in the age of the real and the spurious wood. In view of the fact that very few pieces of old furniture ",hich had previously had some claims to genuineness are made altogether of the original pieces, this new decision has proved distressing to the dealers in old pieces. There are few cases in which genuine old wood or pieces of furniture are employed in making these restorations, and of course there is no reason why that should be accounted more than 100 years old and a work of art merely because it serves to hold together parts of what was originally quite another piece of furniture. "Such a law is bound to create almost a revolution in the business of antique furniture," one of the dealers told the re-porter yesterday, "unless buyers become satisfied with what they 4 WEEKLY ARTISAN TURPS-NO.
