Well Known Decorator Resumes

P. Jackson Higgs has again entered the decorating business, with office and studio at 13-15 East 54th street, where he conducts the business of consulting decorative specialist, undertaking the planning of Interiors in their entirety and superintending their execution. Mr. Hlggs has an interesting collection of rare antiques and a few reproductions of the highest type. In reference to the latter he also specializes in reproducing pieces of early furniture for use where originals are unobtainable.

In past years he has also taken a keen Interest in reproducing early silver by the old hand methods and he is carrying on this work, limiting his productions, however, to solid silver tea and coffee services. On exhibition at the present time is part of a beautiful twelve piece service of Queen Anne design which has all the ear-marks of an old set.

Mr. Higgs came to America from England about seventeen years ago. He was formerly vice-president of the A. J. Crawford Company of Fifth avenue, and later was president and manager of The House of Philip Oriel, Inc., consequently his knowledge of the art business is extensive. He retired from the presidency of the latter firm to enter the U. S. Army, enlisting as a private in the aviation, being shortly after transferred to the Bureau of Aircraft Production where he was engaged In organization and experimental work. Later he took over the entire control of one of the largest plants in this country engaged in aircraft work for the British Government.

Following his discharge from the army he patented a phonograph which is said to excel over all previously existing types. It is understood that he sold his patent rights so that he could devote all his energies to his new business.
