Quality Aesthetic Movement Ebonised Cabinet c.1880
The good quality ebonised side cabinet having hand-bevelled glass doors consisting of seven geometric panels to each side with a further larger rectangular panel above, the carcass having a dentil cornice on tapering spade footed legs to the front to rear stiles, opening to reveal an adjustable shelf, having working lock and key and surviving from late nineteenth England, inspired directly by the designs of E.W.Godwin.
The cabinet is in good overall condition and has the expected signs of wear to the ebonised finish to the extremities, for example to the top, with some light surface marks. She remains sturdy and we have given the piece a light polish to the ebonised finish and had two of the glass panels replaced, which have been hand bevelled, to match. The lock and key are later and in working order. The shelf can be adjusted higher or lower to taste via the rungs.
The aesthetic movement can be seen as the bridge to the arts and crafts style. It often had formalised, restrained ornamentation, and was heavily influenced by Japanese decoration, knowledge of which flowed to the West in the nineteenth century through oriental imports. It rebelled against the lavish ornamentation and over-embellishment of the high Victorian period, and sought a purer, more precise level of expression.
Godwin a true pioneer of his day, a revolutionary of his time the Godfather of the modern movement and a significant leader in the influence on domestic design, one of the first people to incorporate economy and hygiene into his antique furniture, his thinning designs using as little wood as appropriate yet making the piece as strong as possible, so even a maid could move the antique furniture on her own to clean behind and under and designed furniture without dust attracting area's so important in an age where disease was rife. His disbandment of clumsy or over ornate detailing his lean toward line and form in a purely Japanese style yet he never visited Japan, it is thought that he was most probably the first man in England to decorate his entire house in the Japanese style and drew part of his inspiration from 2 volumes of Hokusai's Mangwa from which he gained his knowledge of Japanese wood construction and he carefully studied original pieces on display at museums.
A striking piece that fits within both a modern aesthetic and the high Victorian truly design that was way ahead of the game.
