The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists

CHAPTER 11
12/13

The walls, divided into panels and arches containing painted designs and lattice-work; the panels of the door decorated in a similar manner.

The mouldings of the door and window frames picked out with colours and gold so as to be in character with the other work; the cove of the cornice, a dull yellow with a bold ornament in colour--gold was not advisable in the hollow because of the unequal distribution of the light, but some of the smaller mouldings of the cornice should be gold.

On the ceiling there would be one large panel covered with an appropriate design in gold and colours and surrounded by a wide margin or border.

To separate this margin from the centre panel there would be a narrow border, and another border--but wider--round the outer edge of the margin, where the ceiling met the cornice.

Both these borders and the margin would be covered with ornamentation in colour and gold.
