Plate XCIII. Is a Chinese Cabinet with drawers in the middle part, and two different sorts of doors at each end. The bottom drawer is intended to be all in one; the dimentions and mouldings are all fixed to the design. This Cabinet, finished according to the drawing, and by a good workman, will, I am confident, be very genteel. |

Plate XCV. A Gothic Cabinet upon term feet; the middle is a door with columns glued to it; the doors and columns open together, and intended for glass. The ornaments and festoons upon the glass will look very well; the bottom drawer D is to be all in one, with two drawers above it; the other opening will hold Chinese figures, or any thing else that may be thought agreeable. CBA are mouldings at large, with a scale to take off the particulars. The whole, is justly finished, will make a handsome and elegant piece of furniture. |
