Bookcases: It is unusual to have to dismantle a chest of drawers, but you may have to do this when a chest has become very loose or when a side or top has been badly damaged and must be removed from the chest in order to be repaired. The techniques required and steps taken are equally applicable for the majority of carcass furniture, such as bureaus, bookcases or tallboys.Furniture lighting. Bookcases, shelving, mirrors, glass cabinets, and wall niches may be lighted by incandescent or fluorescent lamps installed in strategic hidden locations adjoining or in various parts of the framework. Such lights are usually directed toward the back of shelving to illumine standing objects or accessories. The tops of tables, cabinets, bookcases, and mantel shelves may be treated with illuminated glass panels to light objects placed upon them, and to add to the general illumination by ceiling reflections. Dining room tables that have a permanent location may have a glass-covered hole cut in the middle, under which may be placed a spot light that throws its rays upward to a mirror on the ceiling, which returns them without glare at an angle to the top of the table itself. Flood and spot lights are used in different ways to highlight limited areas, paintings, or other important objects. These lights may be built into the walls, may be placed behind ornaments, or may be placed in visible positions with their reflectors painted the wall color. The light source and rays should be kept either above or below eye level. If placed under furniture, spot lights should have a covering lens to protect the eyes from glare. Holders for lights are often furnished with swivel brackets or gooseneck arms so that they may be directed to any point. |
