Antiques IL By Arthur H. Schwerdt

There is something called "Eclecticism" which has been emerging as the principal American design movement that will take us into the next century. And this week's celebration of the 100th birthday of the Statue of Liberty may have played a major role in the rising popularity of this intelligent and exciting new trend. As a design movement. Eclecticism is exactly as the word is defined in the dictionary: "the selection of what appears to be the best of various doctrines, methods and styles." AS A SYMBOL, the Statue of Liberty is a potent reminder of America's immigrants. and that this country in this century owes its greatness to the blending together of various ethnic cultures, customs and beliefs. As evidence of the increased acceptance of Eclecticism you need only peruse the pages of trendsetting magazines like Archetectural Digest and House and Garden and the design sections of other magazines and newspapers, and notice the backgrounds of ads. films and television shows. IN 1976, the Bicentennial defined the American look as totally rustic, country, colonial or primitive. That was the look of what historians refer to as the "first America." A new America emerged after the Civil War and during the Industrial Revolution which followed. I This was the America of the Statue of Liberty, an America largely influenced by artist, craftsmen and

/_ -\jfl Y . YY;/\ laborers who came here from all over Western Europe. They came to America seeking the freedom to work from their own ideas, believing that if they could escape the political and cultural constrictions of the old country, their efforts would be rewarded. AMERICA IS as prosperous and as powerful as it is today because their belief in freedom paid off. Any "total" or "period" look in interior furnishings and design is fine for nat iona I landmarks, museums and textbooks. Today, however, any school of design that is going to call itself truly "American" is going to have to reflect the plurality and the freedom of the American immigrant experience. The Statue of Liberty, at a hundred years old. is now. according to the generally accepted U.S. Customs Department's definition, officially an antique. and choosing appropriate antiques will play a big part in assembling a successful American Eclectic look in your home. EVEN THE sleekest of contemporary interiors today are displayed in stores and depicted in the magazines with several accessories or some piece of furniture that are antiques. Art Deco, Neo-Classical, American Empire, as well as some Hepple-white and Sheraton pieces, blend well with contemporary because of their classical clean lines and geometic angles. Queen Anne, Chippendale and French and Italian Provincial pieces, as well as Victorian and Art Nouveau accessories, can offer very pleasing contrasts in a contemporary room. Both the contemporary and the antiques are highlighted to their mutual benefit. BUT AS PLEASING as effective contrast can be. conflict can be a mess, and the question remains: How do you keep Eclecticism from looking like a hodgepodge? Well, with Eclecticism come choices and with choices comes responsibility. This is what is so intelligent about eclectic design, and what is so free. We are left with the responsibility of knowing when to have the confidence to trust in our own good taste, and when to have the good sense to consult the experts — either in books and magazines or through the services of a professional. THE TASK becomes easier when we remember the definition of eclectic which I mentioned at the beginning. We are looking for "the BEST of various . . styles." Does this mean that you have to spend a fortune, or that achieving this new American look is not available on every budget level? Absolutely not! It just wouldn't be American if this were the case. Just survey the antiques shons to see the selection available in all price

ranges. You will find that it doesn't take much to all to broaden the look of your home, to make it more interesting to live in and entertain in, to give it the variety necessary to be truly American. HALLWAYS, foyers, and alcoves are good places to work on first, as are vignettes, china closets, hutches and display cases in your larger rooms. There is everything from Orientalia to Mission Oak to choose from. And when you are successful, you will know it. Your home will reflect your independence, individualism, good taste and intelligence. It's very American; it's a very satisfying feeling , and it's about time! (Arthur Schwerdt. coowner of The August Farmhouse. on Route 9 in Swainton. invites questions c/o this newspaper.)
