OAK DESK.
WITH INITIALS "L. G." AND DATED 1696.
(From the collection of T. E. Price Stretche, Esq.)
Some pretty effects were now obtained by veneering, which was largely coming into practice. The pieces with the burr-walnut panels, marked in a series of knot-like rings, are especially sought after. This pattern was obtained from the gnarled roots of the walnut-tree, and applied in a decorative manner with excellent result.
