Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pennsylvania Museum Bulletin, Vol. 19: May, 1924 Of the English pieces in the present exhibition, the three 'shown in Plate I are of a high degree of excellence. The dining-room or hall chair on the left, lent by Frank Partridge, Esq., is in many ways unique. It cannot be said to belong definitely to any particular style. Its depressed, wooden seat, probably in use covered with a squab, is highly unusual; it has straight legs which are mildly fluted and ornamented at the top with cyma scrolls. The seat rail is deeply curved and the centre of it carved with motives reminiscent of the Chinese. The splat back has a wheel design in the middle, suggestive perhaps of Robert Adam's influence, and the uprights curve in and join it and then continue to the top rail which is curved and carved in the manner used throughout. The general effect is not only very individual, but highly pleasing. The table in the center, the property of George D. Widener, Esq., is strongly architectural, yet possesses great merit: it was almost surely made at the time when Chippendale was working for the Adam Brothers. The top is of black marble; the straight legs are square and fluted and taper slightly to the plainly-moulded foot. Large acanthus leaves are carved on both sides at the beginning of each leg, which relieves the severity. Under the marble top is a series of rosettes and a gadroon-edging, broken in the middle by a garland of flowers carved in the realistic manner of Grinling Gibbons. The beautiful and rare ribband-back chair shown at the right is also lent by Mr. Widener. It is typical of' the designs in the first plate of the Director, and is in every way one of the most splendid expressions of the style of Chippendale. Its cabriole legs, terminating in ball and claw feet, are carved at the knees with acanthus leaves. The bottom of the seat rail has the usual gadrooned moulding, while the top of the same rail is decorated with a leaf carved ogee, a unique feature. The top rail is strongly curved, and the uprights are pilastered and capped with acanthus leaves; The ribbon is executed with the highest skill and seems literally to tie the back splat together, with the long tassel hanging down in the center. This type of chair was popular between 1755 and 1760, yet there are very few specimens extant that can be said to have been made then.

This book was released on 2018-10 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pennsylvania Museum Bulletin, Vol. 20: October, 1924 Chinese culture in Honan and Shensi, and the presence Of undoubted Six Dynasty cave chapels as well as traditionally T'ang and Sung temples establish the existence in early Kansu Of capable artisans. It is perhaps somewhat fanciful, though extremely tempting, to be lieve that the severely scorched area on the figure's forehead and right cheek happened during the Mohammedan Rebellion of 1870 which devastated Kansu and destroyed the great majority Of the early temples, with all their works Of art, that had survived up to that time. In any case the Museum's bodhisattva was apparently one Of the attendants on either side of an altarpiece, flanking a larger cen tral figure of Amitabha, Maitreya, or Avalokitesvara. The peg pro j ecting from the base (thrust into the-present four-legged stand) was originally fitted into a lotus pedestal and carried either on a side bracket or, more probably, fixed to the main platform Of the altar. Though stylistically later, the form of the figure is very; suggestive Of the attendant bodhisattva on the Tuan Fang'é bronze altarpiece in the Museum Of Fine Arts, Boston.1 Even so, the whole group must have been exceptionally small; this attendant is but nine and a half inches tall, so the central figure could scarcely have exceeded a foot and a half in height, yet with suitably carved back and four or six attendant bodhisattva, guardian knights, kylins, and so forth, it was neverthe less impressive. But the interesting fact is that, while figures as small as this, and far smaller, are familiar enough in bronze, and in stone, as bas-reliefs, in wood they are virtually unknown, no matter what the dynasty may. Be. This is not unnatural, for the likelihood of small wood carvings surviving the effects Of time (and periodic politi cal convulsions) is remote. Further, artists were probably less tempted to use wood for small figures, inasmuch as the results were certain to be less impressive than if the figures were large, no matter how skillful was the craftsmanship. We may suppose, too, that the casters Of bronze fulfilled whatever demand there was for religious figures Of a diminutive size. And lastly, the labour Of laying gesso carefully over the carved surfaces (traces Of this still cling to parts of the Museum's figure) and Of applying the necessary pigment-col ours and gilding would scarcely have been worth the pains taken. We may, therefore, assume that woodcarvers in the main confined them selves to larger pieces, and even Of these extremely few early exam ples have survived.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pennsylvania Museum Bulletin, Vol. 20: December, 1924 The design of the Balcony. (plate II) is composed of graceful scrolls, which 'are embellished by natural forms of leaves and flowers. The work is constructed entirely by welding and riveting, and shows the hemispherical heads of the rivets forming the centre of the flowers. 1 The cover illustration is an enlarged section and shows very clearly the fine welding of the leaves. The third rule is illustrated by the use of rivets in this case, as compared with the collars used in the. Construction of the Fanlight. The Balcony is a very fine example and is the work of a skilled craftsman; this conclusion is supported by the fact that only the wealthy people could afford to have monograms, as the Balconies had to be specially de signed, and a skilled craftsman employed. Careful scraping of the surface reveals that at one time the Balcony had been gilded all over; therefore it may originally have been installed inside the house of a person of some note, and then later painted over and used as an exterior balcony.
