THE STUDIO THE ART SHOPPING CENTRES OF LONDON The Church Street Kensington Guild—continued. IN last month’s issue of THE STUDIO a notice was given of the Church Street Kensington Guild. As we then said, the Guild has accomplished very praiseworthy work. The artistic enthusiasm of the members shows also that it makes an appeal to that civic consciousness which elsewhere languishes for want of organization. The idea of a general participation in the task of creating beauty is a fine one which might be adopted with advantage all over London. The exceptional enlightenment of Church Street is reflected in the individual shops, which though conforming to main principles have nevertheless each a distinct character. --- Sign of the Guild. --- ART JEWELLER AND SILVERSMITH WORKER IN PRECIOUS AND SEMI-PRECIOUS STONES SYBIL DVNLOP69 Church Street,Kensington, W.8. --- ORIGINAL ARTISTIC GIFTS FOR HOME DECORATION PICTURESMIRRORSSCREENSROWLIAN-WOOD-INLAYDISTINCTIVE PHOTOGRAPH FRAMES THE ROWLEY GALLERY, 140-2 CHURCH ST., KENSINGTON.

Church Street, however, has a particular interest in beauty, because works of art of many kinds form the bulk of its wares; and the same taste which goes to make the attractive shop front is lavished also on the production and selection of beautiful things to sell. One may come here to buy articles of common use which have a certain precious quality not to be obtained in the creations of mass production. Dresses, embroideries, pottery, jewellery, sensible antiques, good printing, all can be obtained here. And just as in Renaissance Italy the “Bottega” meant in especial the goldsmith’s shop, so the Church Street “Shop” is a place to which one can go with the comfortable certainty of obtaining the things one requires in a form which combines beauty and utility. The work of the Guild is implicit throughout.
