A sculptured Queen Anne elephant (signed bv \C. J. Snnonnr. shown in this gallery. This elephant has an opening in his back for a vase in which branches of leaves and flowers may be placed. He is carved from walnut of beauti- ful patine. His trappings are of gilt. In the small gallery at one end is shown a set of wall paper which is called Scenic America, by a Frenchman about the middle of the 19th century. This is a reproduction of an original set of great value. It was one of the papers made in the ill-fat- ed factories of Alsace-Lorrain- e. So far as we know, the wood blocks from which this paper was printed were destroyed in the late war, and it therefore has a very great documentary importance. In the other small gallery is shawn a set of 18th century wall paper painted in the Chinese manner, which came from a historic old house, Dease House, at Port Arlington, Ireland. It is very rarely that a complete room of old wall paper comes to America. :om 13 Particularly fine. The price is 90,000.
