PARKE AMERICAN ART ASSOCIATION, INc., MANAGERS MADISON AVENUE, 56TH TO 57TH STREET NEW YORK ees THE AMERICAN ART ASSOCIATION, INC. DESIGNS ITS CATALOGUES AND DIRECTS ALL DETAILS OF ILLUSTRAJIaR TEXT AND TYPOGRAPHY EIGHTEENTH CENTURY GARDEN FURNITURE FROM NOTABLE ENGLISH GARDENS Enchanting and poetic visions rise to view at the magic mention of old English Gardens, for those of the late seventeenth and eigh- teenth centuries have an air of quietude and restfulness only broken occasionally by the humming of the bees around the flowers and the flutter of the wings of birds at fountains or fishponds whilst taking a hurried and perhaps chattering bath, having flown from their nests in neighboring: sheltering trees. This delightful gathering, now on exhibition and to be sold at the American Art Galleries at unrestricted Public Sale, was acquired from the lovely gardens of Syon Lodge, Isleworth, Middlesex; the Earl of Scarsdale, Sutton Scarsdale, Derby; Lady Ebury, Moor Park; and York House, Twickenham, Middlesex, amongst others. Perhaps nothing enhances the brilliancy and delicacy of flowers more than Lead Statuettes and Fountains, and here we have many both large and small, Dolphins, Cupidons, Wood Sprites and even Pelicans. Old Sun-Dials, mostly of the fine armillary type, mounted on limestone pedestals, revive charming memories of the past and add distinction to even the smallest garden. Numerous inviting Garden Benches, Chairs, and Tables are also in the assemblage, both in painted iron and sculptured limestone, many of them adorned with interesting lead panels and other ornamentation. The Wicket Garden and Large Gates, Bells and Grilles of forged iron are exceptionally fine, with their beautiful scrollings and tracery. The whole exhibition makes a strong appeal to the imagination and upon viewing it one’s greatest desire is for an opportunity to place at least a share of these very engaging garden objects. Frank H.
