above oak-panelled dado, are hung with tapestry.
To the left of the staircase approach is a large
stone chimneypiece, supported by marble Ionic
columns, which rise from massive stone bases.
The wide oak staircase, with its curved headpiece,
is an important feature of the interior. As will be
seen from the illustration, the balustrades have
been richly carved, the newels being set with
pyramidal mounts carved in relief. The walls
have been hung with a soft, grey-green tapestry
which harmonises with the rich floral-designed
carpet. A feature of the drawing-room, illustrated
on page 272, is the satin-wood and green onyx
chimneypiece, above which, in the chimney-breast,
is a figured central panel in sewn silk, executed by
the Bromsgrove Guild. In keeping with the other
decorative treatment, the walls are panelled with
silk, the woodwork being of satin-wood having a
mother-of-pearl inlay. The ornamental plaster
coved ceiling contains some excellent heraldic
modelling in the form of lion motifs, with star-
shaped ornamental end-pieces. Parquetry has
been used for the floor. A fine effect has been
obtained in the dining-room by three leaded
windows representing Sir Galahad, the work of the
Bromsgrove Guild. The woodwork is natural
mahogany waxed, with a low dado, the upper -walls
being hung with tapestry. A sense of massiveness
is apparent in the architecture of the billiard-room,
which contains a large oak billiard-table designed
by the architects. Occupying a central position
is a large stone chimneypiece, with tiled interior
and metal canopy. The trusses to the open
timbered roof are of oak, and the tie-beams spring
from carved figure supports resting on stone
corbels. A spotted figured pattern canvas has
been used for covering mid-walls; lower walls are
panelled.
Regarding Messrs. Clifford and Lunan’s exhibit
of public architecture, one is inclined to ask what
good purpose is served by the two pairs of pigmy
sculptural figures in the front elevation of the
