MISSION CHAIR AND CABINET.

back to the earlier designs and com
pairing them with those OF the present
day. we find that the particular, i'm
pressive differences are the substitu
tion OF the straight line for the curved
the absence Of applied ornament and q
simple in place of a complex construc
ton.
Just what distinction is made be-
tween the mission furniture and that
called arts and crafts II would he diff
cult TO say. Perhaps the mission idea
in this country preceded the other. al
though both are centuries old on the
other side of the water.
A visitor to the old mission build
ings in California observed the com
fort OF the plain chairs and the useful
ness OF the plain tables made by the
monks from native woods and. know
ing that a reform was needed In our
factory made. overadorned. clumsy
furniture, took pains to introduce the
western type TO the general public.
The idea was received with favor. and
as II has become known IL has been
developed I'm a variety OF ways.
The establishing of settlements or
centers OF workers in arts and crafts
in places at considerable distances
from the cities has become definitely
associated with this new era of furni-
ture making and has helped to give a
distinguishing mark to the plain chairs
and tables.
The oak chair at the side OF the
small china cabinet shown in the first
cut Is one of the early patterns. The
seat is covered with heavy leather held
down by large headed, dull brass
tacks. There is no touch of decoration
TO the back supports or TO the stretch
crs under the seat. Nothing but the
Rock Island Argus., 1905-12-16
practlcal requirements is admitted.


"A modified furniture and novelties
whose construction Is based ON the
. mission foundation have naturally
been evolved by our ingenious coun-
trymen. A students bookcase is shap.
ed to inclose a set of encyclopedias.
with n nook for the dictionary and an
upper shelf for small volumes. The
compactness of this particular piece of
furniture is not all in evidence from
4 first glance, for turning the case
away from the wall discloses shelves
fitted at the back to hold magazines
or books not required for constant use.
and each side has a shelf under the
top at right angles with the front and
back.
Less radical in pattern than the pure
mission, the modified and novelty
pieces fit into rooms and apartments
where the "real thing would be alto
gether too severe 10 combine with the
stationary fitnents. Each, however.
helps TO sustain the merit of the other
by covering as a whole wider field
than each could accomplish by itself.
Wood stains have been prepared to
correspond with the finish of chairs
and tables. and the unity of interior
woodwork and furniture has proved
an artistic factor.
