Plate XXIX.
This is a design for an apartment in the style of Louis Quinze. The
ornament in this design is intended to be executed in bas-relief, and may
be
either partially or entirely finished in gold. In the decorative works of
the
period, white and gold was by far the most prevalent style of finishing,
although solid gilding was occasionally introduced. It would perhaps
be
better to confine the entirely gilded ornament to the style of Louis Quatorze,
and the white and gold decoration, to designs which belong to the period
of
Louis Quinze.
