it all the mop# confused, Chair 5 was the beat design, be-
cause its function was clearly expressed in form and material.
The proportion of back to seat was good, and the upholstery
was neat and adequate.,-
Plate 30.--Silver Tea. Service
Serylee A (see Pig. 6) was the poorest design* It was
pearly shaped# the narrow Reeks would make cleaning diffi-
cult; the tiny feet eeesed unable to support the weight,
and the ornamental earning was too complicated and empha-
sized the worst features, as in the flaring enrve of the
handle#. Service B was medicare in design,-hating, the bad
shape of Service A, but handles that were better-shaped for
the hands. The carving was not so baroque. Service G was
the- -best design. The- shape was vide throated, arcing fey
easy cleaning, and set upon a wide and adequate-appearing
base. The curve of the handles fallowed the curve of the
main portion without fuss, and the ornamental grooved lines
emphasized the structure*
Plate 21.—Desks
Desk A (see Fig, 6) was of medioere deaign. The main
shapes were well proportioned for function, but the handles
were too ornate* and the feet seemed inadequate. Desk B
was the poorest design, having an awkward shape with carved
front that did not seem to be related to the square-top.
