design is n branch Of art and not Of trade OF not
only of trade They show a considerable number
Of cabinets. tables sofas and chairs varying III pat
tern and in merit. The best of them are very good
the worst OF them not bad hs can be seen else
WHERE among s0mo Of the manufacturers OF Tot
tenham Court Road and Bunhill Row. The forms
of their cabinets are often elegant, the treatment
simple and there is evidence in most of the objects
you that good taste presided over the first drauRh
Of them Unuckily the commercial feeling seems TOO
often TO have elbowed the artistic feeling aside.
They used TO know when they had done enough
and when a thing ought to be let alone OF late
wears some of the sobriety of decoration which DIS
tinruishcd this firm has departed. You may see
cabinets of extremely elaborate form and extremely
elaborate ornamentation; panelsflled with gaudily-
coored figures aad the touch of the chlse and KNIFE
far too frequent too much beyelled glass at the
backs of open niches and the least important mem
Der of a piece Of furniture made prominent
and obtrusive. The cabinets are overloaded with
Oriental porcelain Of all qualities, from gOodto very
bad. Originality of purpose has, at times, been
abandoned in Difference to the prevailing passion
for Japanese work and | could point out cabinet
which looks like nothing much as medley OF
japanese trays; each well enough in tSell; the
form of the cabinet well enough also, but the whole
spOilt by wrong arrangement OF gOOd HatciLio'
As n rule, however, there is more restraint and
right sentiment in their work than in much OF the
work which may be seen hard by in similar style
Whatever their merits in other respects, MessrS'
CoInson & Lock have not yet displaced the
older London firms by superior solldlty OF WORK
