“THE BRIAR ROSE t ” PORTION OF A FRIEZE IN COLOURED RELIEF
BY A. R. MARTIN
A wedding casket of white calf, with
repousse silver and enamel mountings,
and a pair of altar candlesticks in re-
pousse copper, designed and worked by
Robert Hilton, and the jewellery work
of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Gaskin and of
Mrs. Ernestine Mills, all claim notice for
their excellence.
The black-and-white illustrations and
several coloured designs by Mrs. A. A.
Hilton and Miss D. F. Hilton were clever
and interesting, and a small hanging
cupboard, carved and stained by C. R.
Warren, was both well designed and
well executed. H. B. B.
EDINBURGH.—After four years’
continuous work, Mr. William
Hole, R.S.A., has brought the
elaborate scheme of mural de-
coration upon which he has been engaged
in the central hall of the Scottish
56
work of designer and craftsman. Contributors
other than members of the Guild, gave consider-
able support to the exhibition, notably the “ Della
Robbia” Pottery Co. and Mr. R. L. B. Rathbone,who
showed a very choice selection of his copper-work.
The “ Chester Embroidery Society,” under the able
direction of Miss Huxley, is producing excellent
ecclesiastical needlework, mainly designed by C. E.
Kempe. A peacock screen, designed by Frances
Curwen and worked by Miss Hostage,
with a panel for a piano front, em-
broidered in linen thread, designed
and worked by Mrs. E. E. Houghton,
both deserve especial mention.
National Portrait Gallery to a successful close. A
year or two before his death, Mr. J. R. Findlay, of
The Scotsman, gave -£i0,000 to the Trustees ot
the Gallery, which he had presented to the nation
some ten or twelve years earlier, to embellish it
within with a series of mural decorations illustrative
of Scottish history, and without with a series of
statues of illustrious Scots. The latter part of the
scheme is still in progress, but a few weeks ago
