Furniture for the New Palace, Darmstadt

more pastoral, and the buildings are almost
entirely of stone. The meanest barns have an
architectural importance, and the old Gothic
traditions seem barely to have died out even at
the present day.

From this short and imperfect account, and
in an infinitely greater degree from Mr. New’s
illustrations, it will be seen that Evesham pos-
sesses, besides an almost unique situation—
thanks to the good taste of the worthy monks
of old—much that is interesting and picturesque
in the town and surrounding country. Artists in
search of new sketching-grounds will find here
abundant and varied material upon which to work.

OME FURNITURE FOR THE
NEW PALACE, DARMSTADT.
BY M. H. BAILLIE SCOTT.

The photographs of furniture which
form the illustrations to this article are from
designs which were made by the writer for the
furnishing of a sitting-room for her Royal High-
ness the Grand Duchess of Hesse in the Palace
at Darmstadt.

At a later date it is hoped that some illustra-
tions may be given in The Studio of the general
decorative treatment of this room, a treatment
of which this movable furniture forms only a
part.

For the present it will be enough to give some
slight description of the various articles which
are now illustrated.
