AN EARLY GEORGIAN ARMCHAIR.
Plate 29, page 55. No more comfortable seats have ever been made than the corner armchairs of the early Georgian period ; not only so, but they are extremely decorative as well, as the mode of construction gives room for a fine sweep of the back. The seat forms an exact quarter circle, and the top of the back is at a comfortable height on which to rest the arms. The loose seat is covered with a pad of wine-red plush or moquette, a The Nation's Treasures. -^9 colour w...hich tones beautifully with the mahogany. The feet are peculiar, containing five claws in front, and the section of the turned work is worthy of notice as being rather out of the common.
A CHIPPENDALE WEATHER-GLASS.
Plate 30, page 36. The man who possessed a weather-glass such as is sketched here would at any rate always find pleasure in this beautiful little piece of furniture, whatever the mercury predicted about the state of the weather during the forthcoming day. The exquisite detail is all very minute — the fret at the sides, for instance, is scarcely one-sixteenth of an inch deep — and the mahogany has assumed a delightful colour with age.
