Plate XXVII.
In this plate we have given a design for a ceiling well adapted for a room
decorated in the Louis Quinze style, such as that represented in Plate XVII.
This will be found an elegant decoration to a drawing-room of small dimen-
sions. In colour it must have a correspondence with the walls, and would
have a chaste and beautiful appearance if picked out in tints and gold.
Plate XXVIII.
Is a design for a room in the style of Francois Premier, a mode of decora-
tion which is in the present day exceedingly fashionable. The elegant
ornaments of this style are manufactured in Paris, and a great variety of
patterns may be obtained. They are commonly finished in blue and 'silver,
shaded with morone; and nothing can surpass the elegant and even sump-
tuous appearance of these decorations, from the union of a rich colouring
and
a chaste relief.
