Plain Walls Relieved By Floral Decorations
The unadorned wall has begun to lose favour. The big surface, unrelieved in any way, grew wearisome, and the old Italian wall flower bracket has been adapted to modem furnishing needs.
Attractive as these prove to be, they have one drawback. One slight accident or a single spot of spilt water is apt to mar a complete, carefully-planned scheme of decoration. Either it remains an eyesore, or unexpected expense is involved.
A practical development is the wall bracket, complete with flowers. Handmade in Staffordshire pottery, the craftsmanship is exquisite, and the flower groups follow faithfully the delicate shadings of nature. Simple flowers of the English garden or countryside have been chosen, the old-world marigold proving a favourite.
