Scenic Wall Papers 
Until you have at least seen pictures 
of these unusual and distinctive wall 
coverings you can have no idea of their 
beauty. Imagine a room papered with 
what are, in effect, actual mural paintings 
by French artists of the Napoleonic era. 
How far superior they are to the weari¬ 
some repetition of the formal designs 
ordinarily used in wall paper. 
You can now obtain papers by such 
famous creators and manufacturers as J. 
Zuber et Cie, Desfosse et Karth, and 
Isadore Leroy et Cie—depicting such sub¬ 
jects as ElDorado, Decor Chinois, Classic 
Landscape, Scenic America, Chinese Chip¬ 
pendale, Isola Bella, Fetes of Louis XIII. 
In the Chateau Country, Horse Racing, 
Italian Landscape, Psyche and Cupid, etc. 
If your Decorator cannot supply

Decorative Wrought Iron 
{Continued from page 45) 
Italian, and the beauty of which in arrange¬ 
ment and placing we owe to Mr. Welles 
Bosworth, architect. The center opening 
of the arbor on the upper terrace on John 
D. Rockefeller’s estate at Pocantico Hills 
is one of the finest examples of this type 
of wrought iron. And how beautifully 
it is placed, looking out over those fine 
hills through such a gorgeous frame! 
The elaborate iron gateway between the 
heavy stone pillars is another example of 
Mr. Bosworth’s work in the relating of 
materials and the producing of vistas. 
A famous architect in New York, one 
who studies every detail of the construc¬ 
tional beauty of the house, who considers 
iron grilles and doorways and balustrades 
as important as the stone foundation, 
who understands the inherent beauty in 
every kind of building material and 
knows all the ornamental possibilities 
of brick, or the beauty that can be de¬ 
veloped from wood, said recently that he 
felt, in America, we were just beginning 
to realize the possibilities of decorative 
beauty in wrought iron and to create, as 
it were, a new period in this ornamental 
material, making wrought iron that has 
gaiety and humour, as well as ornamen¬ 
tal design. 
Unquestionably each architect should, 
with this point of view, design the iron 
necessary and fitting for the house he is 
developing. It should have a personality, 
a quality that has nothing whatever to 
do with old traditional beauty, but which 
may be incorporated in his scheme of 
architecture, and, when the house is 
finished, seem to have been created with 
the very plan of the structure. 
We are showing some beautiful designs 
of ultra modern iron work along these 
wise lines. These iron doors and grilles 
were created for the exact house, doorway, 
and window in which they were placed. 
They show an entirely new feeling in 
wrought iron, a return to Nature for 
design, but Nature seen with a humorous 
feeling,—bird feathers that trail off into 
quaint and curious scrolls, and little 
birds that look about with curiosity and 
amazed delight to find they have con¬ 
tributed so much to the return of fine 
craftsmanship in this country. 
One doorway, designed by H. T. Linde- 
berg, presents a combination of building 
materials handled with imagination and 
executed with rare technical skill. The 
brickwork of this house is finely de¬ 
veloped, just a hint of a pattern with 
header brick cutting through in the form 
of a diamond. The door and the door 
frame are of rich weathered oak, as is the 
half circle about the wrought iron pedi¬ 
ment, securely and firmly placed on the 
lintel. Here again we find birds lending 
themselves to humorously conventional
