garnitures received from
Paris on Friday last is a plain
camers-hair with large con-
ventional figures Of a pair of
peacocks standing face to
face on an ornamental brack-
ct, the tails expanded into a
scroll border. The figures
are three by five inches in
size, and three inches apart;
of two colors; terra Gotta and
green, or salmon and green.
These strong figures are up
on ivory-white, or light-blue,
or blue, or dark-brown
ground of plain camel's-hair,
as plain and severe as if no
decoration were thought OF.
To make this singular
piece of work two cloths are
woven, mostly separate the
cameps-hair and, back of it,
semi-detached, a thin raw
silk-stuH. Where the figures
come out, the raw silk is
brought forward and inter
woven with the camels-hair.
