Fig. 1 is a front view of half the framework, Fig. 2 is a side view, and Fig. 3 a section of a divan settee showing the position of the springs, etc. The extra length of the settee will necessitate it being supported in the centre with a pair of additional legs. The three back legs are 3 ft. long by l 1/2 in. thick, with a sweep of 3 in. The three stump feet are turned from 3-in. by 8-in. blocks. The seat rails and back rails are 2 in. square, and the stuffing rails 2| in. by 1 in. Mortise joints can be used in preference to dowels. For the seat, eighteen 8-in. springs, placed in six rows of three each, will be required, and for the back, twelve 6-in. springs put in zigzag form: if spring bolster arms are placed on, put three 4-in. springs to each arm. For the covering will be required four 22-in. bags, two for the seat and two for the back; and two 18-in. bags for the bolster arms. About 6 yd. of Utrecht velvet will be wanted for the surrounds, and i yd. of 6-in. fringe for the trimming. The settee will fill a recess 7ft. by 2ft. 3in.
