gusto Magli. The panel leproduced at the foot of page 93 is for a cinema
theatre at Spezia ; the other three are for the decoration of the villa of the
Marchese Castagnola. We illustrate on page 103 some of the i ronwork de-
signed by Franco Oliva for this villa and carried out by A. Falri.
An exhibition of decorative panels of inlaid and coloured woods was held
last month at the Mansard Gallery, London. These panels have been de-
signed by Frank Brangwyn, W. A. Chase, Henry Butler, and other artists,
and admirably adapted by A. J. Rowley, who, realizing the decorative
possibilities of the texture and grain of certain woods, has achieved some
remarkably successful results during the last few years. Several of his
panels have appeared in previous issues of this Year-Book, and on pages
94, 95 and 97 will be found illustrations of seven of his most recent ex-
amples of intarsia.
Bernard Cuzner’s metalwork is invariably sound both in design and exe-
cution. In the ornamentation he exercises considerable restraint, and his
pieces are usually well-proportioned. The three examples shown here
(pp. 100 and 101) are characteristic of his craftsmanship. Mention should
also be made of the silver bowl by Mrs. Cuzner. A good specimen of
