Garden Furniture
of their picturesque inter-

four terra-cotta pots or
vases, two of them with
pedestals (pp. 267 and 268),
by Mr. A. E. Pearce, are
made up of Renaissance
details.
Garden seats may be
divided into two classes, viz.
portable seats and fixtures, curved garden seat designed and executed by

01 a tree (p. 276). Hexagonal in plan, it is
executed in oak by the Garden Crafts, Limited.
For the end of a terrace walk the low-walled
recess (p. 274) with a seat consisting of a large
slab of stone supported on brick piers, designed by
the Potters' Arts Guild, is as homely and convenient
an arrangement as could well be devised. Another
garden bench (p. 276), by Messrs. Liberty, is
constructed in the same way as the last example.
Two seats in terra cotta—one of them long and
straight (p. 273), designed by Mr. A. E. Pearce, the
other semicircular (p. 276), designed by Mr. W. J.
Neatby—are appropriate for formal gardens attached
to houses of the Renaissance style.
With the last example it is interesting to compare
a semicircular bench in wood (p. 275), by the Guild
of Handicraft. Another wooden seat, curved and
with a high back (p. 257), is shown, from the design
garden chair in teak wood of jy[r- Mawson.

but in either case all so-called rustic
patterns should be strenuously avoided.
Stone, brick, or terra-cotta seats
have a monumental and architectural
aspect, and, ot course, they last much
longer; but, on the other hand, they
are apt to strike cold to the body and
thus, except in very hot weather, are
less practicable than wood.
Among more imposing structures the
semicircular screen with seat (p. 251),
designed by Mr. Mawson, is a good
specimen. The screen, newly erected,
as shown, looks rather bare, but, covered
with creepers, it would form a shelter at
once adequate and picturesque.
Another seat, though of wood, is
necessarily of the nature of a per- garden seat in teak wood designed and executed by
manency, being built round the base h. castle & sons, ltd.
