There must be, of course, a sideboard or buffet or perhaps a corner china closet or a pair of them, in which to keep the china and silver and linens. All of these may be had in Curtis built-in furniture of excellent design and proportions, decorative in themselves and as a display of handsome table-ware. They may be built into a recess, or set out into the room. They come in different woods, suitable for the finish that will best harmonize with your other woodwork or furniture. There is a wide variety of sizes and types.

“Built-in furniture is very good in a small room, because it takes and keeps its place as a part of the wall and increases the floor space. It is advantageous in a room of great size, because it then becomes of architectural importance, and may be of great decorative value in mass and color.”
