Our homes, and how to beautify them . on.Instead of the cabriole legs which Chippen-dale used so much in his imitation of olderFrench works, Sheraton favoured square, tapering legs. The swan-necked pediment surrounding the cornices of cabinetsand bookcases, borrowed from the architecture of Queen Annes reign, is also oneof his characteristics. But his inlays were, beyond even his grace of form, hischief and most notable merit. Small medallions with natural forms, vases, shells, and fans in coloured wood, were let into the constructional mahogany, or orna-mental wood of uniform colour was used in conjunction with a shade producedby burning. Owing to the growth of the East Indian trade with England, fancywoods, such as satinwood, kingwood, tulipwood, &:c., were beginning to belargely employed, and Sheraton not only took the fullest advantage of the new op-portunities, but may be said to have won special distinction by availing himself ofthem. Still it must be confessed that about some of his larger pieces there is a 49 D. SHEKATOX. OUR HOMES, quiet refinement almost amounting to austerity—whatI take leave to describe as a cold virginity of style—and however admirable may be their proportions, and however delicate their inlays, a reception roomfurnished entirely in this manner does not necessarilyappeal to everyones taste. Some of Sheratonsdrawing room chairs are elegant, and his side-boards, mounted with brass rails, simply ornamentedbut of high finish, are the acme of combined stabilityand refinement. Towards the end of the i8th Century satin woodfurniture was ornamented with paintings, and artistsof some importance, such as Pergolesi, Cipriani, andAngelica Kauffmann, Avere often employed to executethis kind of work. Satinwood was a fine decorativeground for the fruit, cupids, nymphs, and mythologicalgroups with which, in the fashion of the da), it was sobeautifully embellished. Examples of this old i8thCentury work in good condition are always worthpicking up. A p
