House & Garden 
furniture, carpets, wall 
papers, metal work, and 
tiles, his ability is thus 
shown in many different 
directions. 
Perhaps the strongest 
section is that exhibited 
by the various crafts¬ 
men in metal, particu¬ 
larly if we include en¬ 
amelling with it. Mr. 
Alexander Fisher, in¬ 
deed, with his triptych 
in bronze, silver, and 
gold, and his jewel 
casket in copper and 
enamels, succeeds in 
scoring the highest suc¬ 
cess of anyone. His 
work is strongly remin¬ 
iscent of mediaeval art, 
to which he has no 
doubt owed much in 
the study of his craft. 
Two table lamps by 
Mr. A. S. Dixon are 
very pleasing in shape 
without too great a 
housekeeper’s room, the bedroom and the servant’s bed¬ 
room have received plenty of attention, but there is very 
little for the drawing-room, the dining-room, or the 
morning room. The boudoir is out of it altogether. 
The sideboard shown by Mr. J. S. Henry, and 
designed by George Walton, is one of the few good 
pieces one would care to put into a dining-room. It is 
rather faulty in the legs, which run too thin towards the 
floor. Otherwise it is sensible, well constructed and in 
good taste. A writing table by Mr. Arthur Simpson, 
of which an illustration is given here, approaches the 
refinement one expects in the homes of educated people 
much more nearly than some chests of drawers, dressers 
and benches close by. 
Two arm chairs shown here illustrate very divergent 
styles. The one with carved arms is by Miss Julia 
Hill iam, and is made for Christ’s College, Oxford. The 
other is designed by Mr. C. F. A. Voysev, who also 
exhibits the aluminum clock and stationery case. The 
piano, made by Messrs. Collard & Collard, is another 
example of his work. Mr. Voysey occupies a position 
in decorative art entirely to himself. He has had many 
followers, and is unquestionably a designer of singular 
originality and power. Being represented at the present 
exhibition by photographs of houses he has designed,
