An Oak Bureau on Stand. of the Continental New Art style, purchased by Sir George Donaldson, whopresented it to the nation. The exhibit generally displays excellent technique inexecution, both in wood and metal work, and there are some fine examples ofinlaying. On the other hand, many of the designs are quite unsuitable for thematerials employed, and require bent wood in executing them, which, however TABLES AND FRAMED-UP WORK 127 carefully it may be done in furniture, always has a natural tendency to springback. The example given is in good proportion, and except for the carved kneeparts is an effective piece, with good moulded legs and top.
