effects can be secured not only with painted deal, 

 but with deal left clean from the tool, as in the 

 smoking-room at Temple Pinsley, with its panel 

 ling designed by Mi. Lutyens (Fig. in). There is 

 another adjunct to panelling which can be em- 

 i&amp;gt;lnved ; to wit, inlay. A good example of this is 

 the woodwork that surrounds the hall fireplace at 

 Pitton Place, Balcombe (Fig. 17). The architects 

 oi (hat interesting house, Mr. Cecil Brewer and 

 Mr. Punbar Smith, have been sparing in their use 

 ot inlay, but the little parti -coloured chequers at 

 the points of the square flush panels give a touch 

 nt added interest. 



If money is no great object, richer and 

 more elaborate effects ran, of course, be obtained, 

 Mich as are shown in the illustrations of panelling

at Longstow Hall. Cambridgeshire (Figs. i_| and 

 15). This is conceived quite in the spirit of old 

 work, and is none the worse for mingling the style- 

 of different periods. The doors, with their shallow 

 panels surrounded by soft and delicate mouldings, 

 recall the early seventeenth century ; the twisted 

 column, itself a piece of old work pleasantly 

 fulfilling a new use, strikes a somewhat later note, 

 and the bold pilaster in the corner is reminiscent 

 of Wren. But the whole effect, heightened as it 

 is by the graceful and charmingly-disposed iron 

 work, is eminently pleasant, and shows that culti 

 vated designers, such as Messrs. Simpson and 

 Ayrton, can produce work vicing in interest with 

 much of that which, hallowed by age, rouses the 

 enthusiasm of latter-day students.
