Furniture
Petter's waxed-oak and inlaid bureau
(p. 64) represents a fresh treatment of a
similar theme.
The large and handsome bookcase
(p. 63), designed by Mr. Frank Murray,
has been already mentioned. It is
avowedly inspired by originals of the
period of William and Mary. The bold,
moulded cornice, fantastically outlined,
is highly characteristic; and the polygonal
legs afford opportunity for the pleasing
play of light upon their differently inclined
surfaces. The long bookcase in oak
(p. 67), designed by Mr. Arthur Penty, is
a specimen of furniture which has no
chair in mahogany designed and executed 1!y

specious attractiveness, but
which is yet restful and satisfy-
ing on account of its good,
simple lines, and well-balanced
proportions.
Of dining-tables two are
illustrated. Mr. Gimson's
(p. 55), in oak, original in
treatment though it is, yet,
with its stout legs and the
massive framing of the feet,
recalls the strength and con-
structiveness of Gothic work ;
while Messrs. Liberty's (p. 54),
in mahogany, partakes more
of the character of the seven-
teenth century. A newer note
is struck in the same firm's
tea-table (p. 69), in mahogany,
with inlay of coloured woods.
Two examples of oak tables
settee in mahogany designed by e. a. taylor
upholstered in velvet executed by
wylie & loch head, ltd.
respectively the characteristics of the William and
Mary style and that of the early eighteenth century.
The one (p. 69) is a side-table, the stretcher and
body of which are fancifully shaped, according to
the taste of the period; the other (p. 70) a gate-
leg table on turned legs, which expand, towards the
top, in a not very common manner. The smaller
or occasional tables (p. 69), designed by Messrs.
Liberty and Mr. Baillie Scott, represent modern
designs in various materials, with various kinds of
ornament—e.g., carving and inlaying.

by Messrs. Hampton represent with red or white rose by f. sellick
