Arts & Crafts Bureau by G.M. Ellwood
A superb rare piece of cabinet furniture by English Architect/ designer George Montague Ellwood (1875 - 1955). Made in Mahogany with pewter, fruitwoods and aluminium for the handle back plates( considered a very new material in cabinet fittings).For the bureau interior , cedar is used.
Wonderful marquetry panels of a maiden and two doves in the art nouveau style. The fall front writing surface is finished in leather skiver , possibly fitted 30 or so year ago but remains in fair to good condition with some markings.
The structure is strong with no loose joints . There are some marks to the surface above the two draws .
The french polish appears original: some lightness to this is at the front (writing flap, doors) from sunlight but does not deter from the overall beauty of the piece. Two keys are supplied for all three working locks.
The design of the bureau does show some Scottish influence but in fact was made by art furniture cabinet makers, J.S.Henry, London around 1900. An advert in The Studio magazine dated 1903 in fact shows off this piece. Many more images of the bureau are available to see on our website :
Size 145cm height, 108cm width, 40cm depth.
The price includes UK mainland delivery.
