P. & B. Brick NNq
Mechanically and Architecturally Perfect
P. & B. Brick are made of a special grade of clay, very finely ground,
and most carefully pressed and baked. As mere brick they cannot be r
improved upon. And they are just as perfect from the architectural and I
artistic standpoints. All brick in
P. & B. Brick Mantels
are made from the designs of a prominent architect—the leadingauthority
on brick—and are based on the best English and Continental brickwork.
They have all the depth and character of hand carving.
Every angle, stretcher, header, return, etc., has its specially designed
brick. No trimming or fitting necessary. We supply all biick needed
for the mantel, hearth, fire back, underfire—everything complete.
Easily installed by any good mason by follow-
ing our blue prints.

more could be asked for in a mantel?

ARLY ENGLISH FURNITURE
Two especially fine pieces of early
English oak are now on view in the Acces-
sion Room of the Metropolitan Museum,
New York. The first is an example of the
rare Gothic armoires or livery cupboards,
dating from about 1475. The piece is 3
feet in height, 2 feet 7 inches in length.
The central door is decorated with two per-
forated openings of Gothic tracery, circular
and spiral in motive, flanked by four per-
forated windows, perpendicular in style.
There is no attempt to frame the designs in
moldings. For this reason the decoration
appears crude and unfinished, yet it must
be remembered that in its original condi-
tion the cupboard was further embellished
with brilliantly painted designs, or tempera,
or wax designs, of sacred or heraldic sub-
jects that have long since completely dis-
appeared. The livery cupboard served to
store the bread, cheese, butter, candles and
other items belonging to the master’s ret-
inue; the court cupboard, on the other
hand, contained the wine, food and can-
dles used by the master and mistress and
their family. An example of a court cup-
board is here illustrated, a piece dating
from the early sixteenth century. Its di-
mensions are: height, 4 feet if inches;
width, 3 feet n| inches, and depth, 1 foot
5! inches. As we see, this is a far more
ornamental piece of furniture. Above, a
cupboard of triangular form is topped by a
canopy supported on two richly carved bulb-
ous posts. As the lower part lacks the
customary cupboard we may, perhaps, de-
fine the piece as a combination buffet and
court cupboard. The frieze along the
front and sides of the canopy and the three
panels of the cupboard are inlaid in differ-
ent woods with a charming design of con-
ventional flowers. A checker pattern of
marqueterie borders the rails and stiles.
With the exception of the back this unusual
example of early English woodwork is in its
original condition.
