Excerpt from Illustrated Catalogue of the Remarkable Collection of Early English and American Furniture and Rare Antique Objects in Various Metals Belonging to Mr. Clarence J. Dearden of This City: To Which Has Been Added the Property of the Estate of a Prominent New England Collector, Now Deceased, and Which Is to Be Sold by Order of Executor, the Entire Collection to Be Sold at Unrestricted Public Sale on the Dates Herein Stated In looking over the productions of the cabinet maker and the workers in metals here brought together, the thought will not escape one that though offered by a dealer the articles in the main form a specially and carefully selected collection - a collection in which taste and knowledge, rather than com mercial opportunity, have dictated the purchases, - in which, even, personal vagaries have been pleasantly indulged. It is, therefore, emphatically an interesting collection. With utility and decorative quality goes hand in hand the distinctive at tribute of the collector.
