Plate XXXVII.
This design is an adaptation of the Elizabethan orn
apartment. The style of decoration here represented, has of late become very
fashionable, and chiefly from the circumstance that it has required the use
of
the antique carved furniture which, although so much admired, was before
altogether useless or out of place. The ornamental part of the design may
be painted in tints, or still better executed in bas-relief; but this cannot
always be done without great expense.
DETAILS.
Plate XXXVIII.
Figure 1. Is an angle ornament suited for the design in Plate
XXXIX., but of a more elaborate character than that represented
in
the drawing.
Figure 2. Is a design for a centre ornament.
The introduction of these ornaments will give an opportunity of forming
another design, and the ingenious draftsman will find no difficulty in multi-
plying the varieties to suit the taste of the employer.
