Glasgow Exhibition
each appropriately furnished. The decoration of
the library recalls the style associated with the
pre-Raphaelite school, and especially with Rossetti,
after whom it is named. The woodwork is of
mahogany of a violet tone, inlaid with tinted
wood and metals. The carpet, which has violet
roses on a soft, green ground complementary to
the woodwork and furniture, is hand-tufted by the
peasants of Donegal.
The dining-room, designed by Mr. John Ednie,
is executed in oak, fumed to a mellow grey tone.
At the fireplace there is an ingle-nook nicely
treated. The lower part of the chimney piece is
built on a grey stone mounted on a whitewashed
hearth, and contains a polished steel grate. Above
the dining-table is an electrolier executed in
green-coloured copper and glass decorations. The
general colour scheme of this room is harmonious
and satisfactory.
The drawing-room, for which Mr. Ernest A.
Taylor is responsible, is appropriately light and
graceful in treatment. The panelled walls of
this room are in delicate silver grey, strapped
with white enamelled wood. The prevailing tints
of the furniture, carpet, and accessories are
designed by e. a. taylor
exhibited by messrs. wylie and lochhead
entrusted the entire design of each separate room
to one or other of their designers, and the result is
not only successful as showing Messrs. Wylie &
Lochhead's enterprise, but also their appreciation
of the importance of allowing each worker to
elaborate every detail of the arrangement, every
piece of furniture, and every little accessory ,Lby
which the decorative scheme of the apartment is
perfected. This firm's pavilion is remi-
niscent of the half-timbered houses common
in England during the Elizabethan period,
and is one of the best things of its kind in
the Exhibition, conveying as it does an
impression of fitness for its specified pur-
pose. The broad, unadorned surfaces of
the plaster infilling act as a foil, and show
admirable restraint when compared with
many of the stalls within the Industrial
Hall. The interior is divided into library,
designed by john ednie
dining-room, drawing-room, and bedroom, exhibited by Messrs. wylie and lochhead
