Inhaltsangabe
Excerpt from The Open Fireplace<br/><br/>No part of the interior of a building offers so broad a field for the exercise of the taste and skill of the designer as the Open Fireplace and chimney-piece. The friendly warmth of the fire renders it the immediate centre of attraction. Its ever varying, cheerful ?ame enchains our attention as a living and sympathetic companion, long after the surrounding inanimate objects have ceased to occupy our thoughts. Hence the chimney-piece has, for ages, been honored and treated as the focus of interest; the key-note of the interior decoration of the apartment; and, so long as our physical natures remain the same, it is likely to continue to be so treated. No one object has assumed a greater and more interesting variety of forms at difi'erent hands, and none shows to better advantage the peculiar character and individuality of the designer. By adding to our collection already formed in the first edition, a number of the best modern designs executed or prepared for execution in this country, we have obtained an interesting index of the gradual and comparative development of interior decoration and household art, both medieval and modern, at home and abroad.
