Example of the Cavalier style of clothing. The name Cavalier originally related to political and social attitudes and behaviour, of which clothing was a very small part, but it has subsequently become strongly identified with the fashionable clothing of the court at the time for supporters of King Charles I and his son Charles II during the English Civil War, the Interregnum, and the Restoration (1642 – c. 1679).

This design dates back to Solomon's time. It is one of the Chinese Buddhist ornaments and is therefore quite commonly found in the Samarkand, Yarkand, Kashgar, and the various Chinese products. Also used more or less throughout the Caucasus and especially in the Shemakha; in fact, it is present somewhere in most rugs of the latter class, as a talismanic design. In some of the Persian fabrics it partakes of a floral character.

These are of the common type. They are used to reach most areas to be painted on exteriors of buildings. Practically all surfaces on one and one and one-half story bungalows and cottages are reached with these ladders without using a swing stage. Also they are often adequate for two-story houses. Of course, one can work faster from planks or platforms on large surfaces; so time is saved by not using long ladders often, even where they reach easily. These are made of sound Norway pine, as a rule, with turned hickory rungs mortised into the side rails and nailed there. Lengths are: 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20 feet.
