The very elegant rocking-chair shown in Fig. 49 is upholstered in hair and covered with silk plush of the peculiar shade called "drakesneck," a sort of bluish-green of a deep, rich shade, which forms a most exquisite background for the sprays of wild rose so perfectly embroidered on the seat and back in silk filoselle, and the leaves having that tinge of brown and red mingled with dull green so often seen in the growing bush. The arms and front of the chair are finished with silk gimp to match, and silk fringe of the same shade as the plush, relieved by pink silk double ruffs at intervals. The back is covered with pink plush, and the whole forms a most beautiful chair and one that will not be ruined by reasonable use.
