DECOIUTIONS FOR DR 4 lIING ROO ifS.

The hangings or decorations for the two prin.
cilol stories in magnificent mansions art about to
undergo a complete revolution. The Egyptian style
attaches itself solely to eating rooms and libraries,
tl►e walls of which are painted and ornamented after
the elegant rem►ins. of ancient sculpture found .in
Tuscany in the coast of the two last centuries.
The style consists of ornaments in the primitive
colours, namely, red, yellow, and blue; they are
principally drawn from the painted tombs of the
King of Tint:Rs, and the exquls►tely decorated
walls of ancient Herculaneum.

The Drawing-rooms are entirely 4.la.Grec, the
body of the walls is of a plain colour, consisting
chiefly of a pearl or peach blossom ; the pannels
made out with antique Grecian borders, finished
with rich carved and gilt moldings. In the .more
superb mansions, silk occupies the place of plain co.
lours : the borders arc executed in carved work,
partly drawings ani partly gilding. The shim.
ney.pieces of these mansions are very low, and made
of the purest statuary marble, the enrichments of
which consist of bronze or or.molu.

The expence of many of these chimney-pieces
amount to Soo guineas, over which a gla►s occupies
the space up to the cornice of the room, in one entire.
chrysial plate, sunk in the wall, without a frame,
being hung in a bold gilt molding. These plates
run near nine feet high, by four and a half. The
hangings of these apartments are very expensive ;
thost executed in plain c►►lours, for a room thirty
feet by twenty, could not be finished in the manner
above described for a less bum than Soo guineas ;
but if they are chine in silk, the expence would be
little short of moo guineas.
