Firegrates and Mantelpieces
with a panel and narrow
shelf underneath. Thirdly
(p. 102) is a plain moulded
framing, with marble sur-
round and "cheeks." The
above have brass or copper
hoods, which impart a note
of modernity to their other-
wise classic appearance.
And fourthly (below) is
an oak mantel, with a
pair of fluted columns on
either side, and a marble
surround, without hood,
to the fire-opening. Next
are two examples, the first
(p. 101) with a pair of
pilasters on either side,
mounted on high plinths
dovTiT awith rustications; the
fireplace designed isy w. h. dav1es . '
executed i!y maple & co., ltd. SeCOnd (p. I05) with tWO
sturdy little columns on
brackets supporting the
the scale of the rest in mantels of the modern mantel-shelf at each end. Both these have metal
system. Mr. Lorimer's third example (p. 102) has hoods and surrounds of square tiles, fixed, like those
a moulded marble outer-frame on a step hearth, in the fireplace wall of Messrs. Waring & Gillow's
and a surround of hand-beaten copper, the orna- ingle (p. in), already referred to, with unusually
ment of which consists of bosses, bumped up out wide joints. This is an effective device on occasion,
of the sheet metal—a simple device,
but just the right sort for metallic relief,
especially in this position, where the
reflection of the firelight dances and
shines on every convex surface.
Next are two fireplaces, designed by
Messrs. Crouch & Butler, architects.
One (p. 106) has an elaborately-beaten
copper hood in the form of a long
horizontal band above the opening;
the "cheeks'1 and hearth being of
antique Dutch tilework. The other
(p. 101) shows an inglenook, fitted up
in oak, the overmantel, with its arcade
of round arches, being in the style of
the late sixteenth century, while the
copper surround indicates a more
modern date.
Four mantels, founded on eighteenth-
century style, comprise two of white
wood, the one (p. 108) with a pair of
columns on either side of the over-
mantel panel, in which are inserted HHM^jiBMiij»i»ws».- -x ^ ^ "-^^a^^W
