Stunning bright custom rug designs by the preeminent designer and supplier of rugs and furniture to the rich and famous of the 19th and the early 20th centuries for the family of businessman and timber baron Lowell Thomas Murray of Tacoma WA. W. & J. Sloane was founded in 1843 in New York by Scottish-American brothers William and John Sloane. They would become the first to import oriental rugs into the US and the first to coin themselves "Interior Decorators and Home Furnishers." The company opened a branch in San Francisco in 1915 originally to furnish the pavilions at the Panama-Pacific Exposition but staying on for the demand for their products. They prospered and catered to the American elite until 1955 when the business control left the hands of the direct descendants of the Sloane brothers. The firm over-expanded lowered its quality and prices and ultimately filed for bankruptcy in 1985. L. T. Murray Sr. moved West from Ohio in 1906. He would found the West Fork Timber Company the Pan Pacific Trading Company and the Pan Pacific International Corporation and would become President of the Pacific Logging Congress established in 1909 to provide technical education about the forest industry.

Possibly the most influential and famous of the post-revolutionary art and literature journals Zhar-Ptitsa Firebird was first printed in Berlin in 1921. A total of 14 issues were published at irregular intervals from 1921 to 1926. A magnificent journalistic endeavor it represented the Russian culture abroad and challenged the boundaries between the Bolshevik agents and the immigrant intellectuals at the time. Contributors included Konstantin Somov â a brilliant artist who immigrated to the United States after the revolution but finding the atmosphere âabsolutely alien to his artâ he eventually ended up in Paris; Alexander Benois â the founding member of Mir Iskusstva; Ivan Bilibin â the illustrator and stage designer who moved to Paris after the October Revolution but longing for his country returned home in 1936 to ultimately die during the Siege of Leningrad; Natalia Goncharova â the great niece of Alexander Pushkin and one of the most revered Russian Avant-garde artists â and many others including all the members of Mir Iskusstva. The latter was not only an art journal but an artistic movement which was said to have revolutionized European art at the beginning of the 20th century. Vengerov Staraia Russkaia Kniga 105.
