In Library, Living Room or Den the fireplace is
naturally the central point in the general scheme of
decoration. Whatever else may be sacrificed to con-
vention or economy, the hearth must have its Easy
Chair or Davenport before the fire.

lour Upholstered pieces which we have now on view
it is easy to select old-time “Wing Chairs,” “Club
Chairs,” Rockers or Davenports adapted to the fullest

numerous photographs reproduced there

Mr. Brown lays especial stress upon the
importance of historical and geographical
considerations in the discussion of the
barbaric art which has been his study—the
art of the various tribes with which one
was familiarized in “Csesar’s Commen-
taries.” These were the Goths, East and
West, the Vandals and all the semi-
civilized tribes of Europe. The earliest
definite date given is 6oo A.D., and the
author shows the various influences of con-
quest and invasion which affected the be-
ginnings of the arts among these wild races.
SECOND CENTURY
The beginnings of the influence of the
Church are traced, and the characteristics
of that rarely heard-of artistic period, the
Carolingian Renaissance. Successive chap-
ters deal with the effect of intercourse with
the Romans, both as conquerors and con-
quered, and general divisions are made of
the various Teutonic tribes, with careful
notes on their migrations and wanderings.
In due order are discussed the necrology
and funeral accessories of the times, the
accouterment of the warrior and adorn-
ment of the woman. These discussions
bring up for illustration the applied orna-
ment on arms and armor and on bracelets
and the like. Mr. Brown’s .discussion of
the armor of the period is enlarged upon
in a subsequent chapter on the technical
or “craft” side of the subject, such as forg-
ing, “damascening,” casting, plating and
chasing, as well as filagree, enamel and in-
laid work.
The last two chapters sum up the sub-
ject with the presentation of certain clas-
sifications of the decorative motives met
with, and with an interesting final esti-
mate of the actual decorative and artistic
worth of the tribal craftsmen’s work as
compared with work of the primitive
Greeks, Japanese and Celts.
The book, taken as a whole, brings out
all the salient features of the arts and crafts
of the Dark Ages in detail which it would
be impossible to find in any encyclopedia
or general book of reference, either in
history or art, and forms a most interest-
ing link in our knowledge of what lay be-
tween the artistic glory of Greece and
Rome and the dawn of the great Renais-
sance in Europe.
