The Spanish Interior
A Book About Its Design and
Its Furniture

We touched briefly not long ago upon
the first portfolio in q series published
by william Helburn under the title Of
Spanish Interiors and Furniture"
The work Is now complete and makes
compendium Of the deepest interest
for the student and the collector The
photographs and drawings In this col
lection Of 200 superbly printed plates
were made by Arthur Byne. The brief
text is written By Mildred Stapley.
These happy eollaborators have placed
us In their debt before, through their
books on Spanish architecture, iron
work and decorated wooden ceilings.
In the present pages they round out
really invaluable service, covering,
as in their earlier publications, un-
familiar ground and documenting It
with scholarly thoroughness.
The early Spanish interior Is never
more Spanish than when II IS Moorish.
The influence Of the Moorish craftsman
persisted long after the expulsion of
the Meors. His most Characteristic
contribution 70 the subject was the
polyehrome tiling which, as the intro
duetion shrswdly notes, was an ideal
building material in 4 hot, insect-rid-
den country. II was employed not only
in walls but in Gtaircases. Plaster
work was used, as we'll as tiling, for
ornamental purposes, but stress Is laid
upon the Spanish room as an essen
TALLY simple structure. Great spaces
Of white wall were appreciated for
their decorative contrast 10 the oe-
easlonal hangings. OF these there

we'll as rich dAmasks and velvetS.
Every family has repostero on a
large seale-the family blazon in ap-
pllque on coarse yellow felt
background, or embroidered on velvet.
Movable furniture was scant"
The parslmony Of the Spanish in the
matter Of furniture is partly explained
by social conditions-which were not
precisely social, and, in fact, have only
in more modern times approximated
to European habit elsewhere. Spain
has never been a country for intimate
visiting from house 70 house. We are

visitor and on any oceasionl" Certain
objects that have been matters OF
course for centuries elsewhere In The
world have been strangely neglected
IN Spain. The bureau with drawers,
for example, has never been popular.
For clothes and linen the Spaniard has
always preferred the chest In their

thors concentrate on these articles Of
furniture, and on tables. chairs.

terlstlc vAreueno, or cabinet. The last
mentioned piece is described as the
prominent achievement Of the Csstilian
artisan.

well. Whenever old Spanish furniture

book as unique, both inside and ous,
often prodigiously ingenious and com

text the authors give so charming an
account Of Spanish furniture that II
Is little diseoneertlng TO find them
dlsagrecing with the high eommendA-
tlon that has been bestowed IN some
quarters upon the Spanish workman.
Tho point Is eandidly put:
EARLY pieces are as solidly and
honestly built as those Of other coun-
tries, but with even less nicely OF
craftsmanship. In the same piece
that shows neat doYctail and mortise-
and-tenOn joinery may be seen tho
most brutal use Of long nails

the frame completely and be ham

less the surface be inlaid, In which
case they need not pass completely

maker seems 90 have taken pride In
using big nails and clinching them
visibly on tho reverse side. In short,
Spanish furniture during two cen
turics and a half was crude. In the
sense that the oak period of England
was crude, and this quality in each
case gives personality. No,
/ fine craftsmanship and general ele-
gancc arc not tho salient qualities
Of Spanish furniture; but on the
other hand Il has its own assertive,
racial character compound Of
simplicity, strength and seriousness"
Allusion Is made to the vitality Of
tradition which makes every house
maid an adept IN the care Of old fur
niturc, so that even Unpretentious
pieces have a perfect patine. This
counts even in the illustrations, IN
which one can discern something Of
thu rich romantic bloom lying upon
the examples given. Beauty Of design
is not often apparent. Spanish furni-
ture, the authors point out, was not
architocturalized, like the Italian. Il
