END OF A BILLIARD ROOM

DESIGNED BY H. DAVIS RICHTER, EXECUTED
BY THE BATH CABINET MAKERS CO., LTD.

in the architectural and painting rooms. In
the scheme (illustrated here in colour) for an
Entrance Hall and Gallery, designed for a New
York house, the intention has been to retain
the boldness and breadth of treatment to be
found in the best period of Elizabethan work.
In the movable furniture an easier and more
flowing line has been introduced, better adapted
to the comfort and ease demanded in the
present age. The woodwork is to be executed
in mahogany, fumed and oiled, and polished
by rubbing. White cedar wood is to be used
in the gallery and ingle, with English walnut
garniture inlaid with rosewood and black.
The large painting over the ingle is in a low-
toned scheme of colour. A similar treatment
has been adopted in the Billiard Room, which
was designed for the Bath Cabinet Makers
Company. The Inner Hall at Lisvane Manor,
designed by Mr. Richter, was reproduced in
colour in The Studio Year Book, 1908.
