14.11.2011Sustainable devThere came a dull pall, like that of her own black fogs, over social London, and the stucco-fronted languors of Baker Street and Portland Place are no worse than were the dull monotony of the interiors behind them. Veneered and polished mahogany furniture, very sustainable dev much too large and too heavy for the rooms; black haircloth, like the grave clothes of Art, for the covering of everything that could be sat upon; cold, brownish-red curtains, of sustainable dev shiny but not lustrous material; silver candlesticks of monstrous design,--these, and such as these, were the decorative objects which our fathers or our grandfathers admired, or felt that they must admire for want of better, during the unhappy years that I have cited. The delicate carvings that the furniture of sustainable dev a generation just previous had received, were forgotten. People put up with Chippendale chairs in their dining-rooms sustainable dev because they had belonged to their fathers and nothing special was offered to take their place; but there is no record that they cared for them. The richer and more fantastic carvings of Grinling Gibbons had never obtained any general recognition nor availed to modify the woodwork of the domestic interiors of England. The brocades and flowered silks which the eighteenth century had revelled in, and sustainable dev if in England not strong enough artistically to sustainable dev produce them itself, had brought into England from other lands;--these were replaced by the dismal things I have alluded sustainable dev to, and no vestige of them seems to have remained in the parlors of that unhappy time.Developed country Construction world Montreal renovation Dyi |
