By making pour woodwork exactly correspond with the black finish of the furniture, or the dull or polished oak, you will find the variety used together quite unobjectionable. I do not advocate a black paint with enamel finish. The wood can be painted with drop black paint, and given a dull finish by adding much turpentine to the last coat Or, if the wood can be stained, use a dark brown wood tint to which enough of the drop black paint ground in Japan has been added to give the depth of tone desired. This should be finished with one or more coats of dead-la- c. This effect is better and more durable than the paint. These enamels and stains are moderate in cost. If you will send me a post card I will send you the name of the firm making them.
