THE SCOTTISH ART REVIEW

BLACK AUMRIE AND HOLYROOD CHAIR,

NOTES ON THE EXHIBITION OF DECORATIVE HANDIWORK.

ii.

IN the first article a general treatment of the whole exhibition was carried out, special objects being selected as particularly worthy of note. Some of these are here illustrated, and attention called to their forms, proportions, or decoration. The particular data which the owner may happen to possess about any loan have not always been available, and the information given is rather such as would mark an exhibit as a specimen of a particular class of decorative work, and would apply generally to the whole of such objects.

Coffer oh Linen Chest, No. 311, of Oak. — This is a good specimen of Italian domestic furniture of about the first half of the sixteenth century.
