From Australia, Oct 1946: Feltex Floor Covering ad from Felt & Textiles of Australia Limited

(+Jacobean furniture; Marbled Feltex; Plain Feltex; and Patterned Feltex)

«Feltex»

An advert for Jacobean style floor covering. An image features a period room setting to depict a room from 1620. The advert discusses the history of furniture design and how floor coverings can increase the comfort of a room.

Feltex

The birth of the 17th century found the Renaissance influence submerging Gothic styles. Furniture lost the heavy flamboyancy of the Elizabethan period and gained in beauty of form and design. Decoration found expression in flatter carvings, intertwined circles and lighter melon-bulb turnings, whilst the upholstery of chairs and footstools marked a notable contribution to increased comfort.
MODERN furniture designers have attained a balance of comfort and style unthought of in the days of footstools and indifferent upholstery. Such comfort, however, is dependent on the right wall-to-wall floor covering. That's why you should always choose FELTEX... for, like Jacobean furniture, soft, luxurious FELTEX is a notable contribution to comfort. Always insist on genuine...
As the demand for Feltez is so great, it is regretted that intending purchasers may have to wait for delivery of orders placed with their furnishing store.
