The House in Good Taste
·
Elsie De Wolfe
190
Encouraged
by
this
success
I
purchased
another
porcelain
stove,
this
time
a
cream-colored
porcelain
one,
and
used
it
in
a
hallway
in
an
uptown
house.
It
was
the
one
thing
needed
to
give
the
hall
great
distinction.
Since
then
I
have
used
a
number
of
these
stoves,
and
I
wonder
why
our
American
manufacturers
do
not
make
them.
They
are
admirable
for
heating
difficult
rooms--outdoor
porches,
and
draughty
halls,
and
rooms
not
heated
by
furnaces.
The
stoves
are
becoming
harder
and
harder
to
find,
though
I
was
fortunate
enough
to
purchase
one
last
year
from
the
Marchioness
of
Anglesey,
who
was
giving
up
her
home
at
Versailles.
This
stove
was
of
white
Majolica
with
little
Loves
in
terra
cotta
adorning
it.
The
new
ones
are
less
attractive,
but
it
would
be
perfectly
simple
to
have
any
tile
manufacturer
copy
an
old
one,
given
the
design.
