The Lygon Arms bedroom suite bespeaks the rigid 
austerity that distinguished all mundane matters in 
England during Cromwell's protectorate. The cabinet 
makers oJ that age chose to exercise their own skillful 
use oJ plane and moulding-iron rather than rely upon 
the carver and marquetry cutter as the former crajts- 
7nen had done. In this suite, the perfectly propor¬ 
tioned English pollard oak panels and the clean mould¬ 
ings of walnut are so interesting in themselves, that 
it calls for no extraneous embellishment.
