The Exhibition of Art-Industry in Paris, 1855 (London, 1855)

THE PATHS EXHIBITION"

The very beautiful Cabinet of inlaid woods
which graces this page is engraved from the

contribution of Messrs. Trollofe & Sons, of
London. It is designed by Mr. R. Beavis, one

of the students in the " School of Art," and is
highly creditable to his taste and skill. The

workmanship is admirable : as entirely the pro-
duce of British artisans, it is a production to be
proud of; for assuredly it will take rank even in

Paris, where articles of furniture are carried to the
highest point of perfection. This and a bedstead
of somewhat simdar character are the only con-

tributions of Messrs. Trollope; but they are such
as amply sustain their high repute, and evidence
the satisfactory progress of Art-manufacture.

To fill this page, we introduce one of the ex-
cellent cast-iron Fenders of the establishment
at Coalbrookdale. It is good in design, and

of excellent workmanship. The whole of the I will not suffer by comparison with those of
productions of this famous manufactory are, France, although they will be placed in competi-
indeed, in the highest degree, creditable, and i tion with many eminent fabricants of iron-work.
