NOVELTIES IN ARTS.
Messrs. VIZETELLY and BRANSTON have put forth some elegant Gold Frame Tablets for mounting drawings upon, which, for taste in the design, and quiet richness of effect, are superior to any thing of the kind that we have seen. They are of various sizes and patterns, but the patterns are principally in the style of ornament of the age of Louis the Fourteenth, now so much in vogue. The borders are not in relief, but only stamped in gold, as the Tinted Frame Tablets were in colours ; and this absence of projection renders them peculiarly well suited for the portfolio and album. The ground is of a deep colour, Which shows off the gold to advantage ; and, what is a desideratum in gilding, it will not tarnish. These tablets are best suited to coloured drawings, to which they give a completeness similar to that afforded by :a gold frame to a picture.
