Text Appearing Before Image:
July, 1912 panels for the adornment of cabi- nets. Experiments in the manufac- ture of lacquer, aided by the sugges- tions of returned Eastern mission- aries, were not altogether unsuccess- ful in their imitations and before long furniture entirely covered with lacquer and decorated in Chinese patterns was produced in abundance. Among the most successful mak- ers of a new sort of furniture, coated with color and covered with varnish, was one Martin, a French coach painter of the early Eigh- teenth Century, whose business theretofore had been to decorate coach doors with heraldic blazonings and flower borders. His varnish was a fine transparent lac-polish susceptible of taking on a beautiful surface. The work associated with his name is usually found on furni- ture such as tables or bookcases, as well as on small articles like needle cases and snuff boxes. Though his lacquer formula is said to have died with him, his imitators and pupils painted and enameled furniture of various kinds after his manner. Sometimes in the vernis-Martin work the excellent solid color—frequently a beautiful green—of the table or cabinet or chair is unbroken by any ornamenta- tion save the gold mountings. About the middle of the Eighteenth Century the brothers Adam, most notable English architects, began to design fur- niture to harmonize in spirit and style with the stately houses in Bavarian style
