ARTHUR W. SIMPSON (1857-1922), KENDAL ARTS & CRAFTS ARMCHAIR, CIRCA 1910 oak, with close-nailed leather upholstery, together with the book The Simpsons of Kendal: Craftsmen in Wood 1885-1952, by Eleanor Davidson, published University of Lancaster 1978Dimensions:73cm wide, 98cm high, 54cm deepProvenance:Provenance: Inherited by the current vendor from Barbara Henderson, the niece of Arthur Simpson.Note: Literature: Davidson E. The Simpsons of Kendal: Craftsmen in Wood 1885-1952, University of Lancaster 1978, p. 72, fig. 11 where a view of the 1st-floor showroom, circa 1912, appears to show an example of the current lot in the display.Note: After honing his skills during an early apprenticeship with Gillows of Lancaster, Arthur Simpson worked in a number of workshops until setting up his own in Kendal in 1885, known as the Handicrafts. Simpson secured a large volume of ecclesiastical as well as domestic commissions for furniture, and while he often catered to client tastes, his furniture designs follow a distinctive elegant aesthetic. Locally sourced, high-quality woods are used to form bold yet simple structures with practicality at the heart of their design. Shelving units were often fitted with dust flaps, cleverly concealing variations in book height for a well-proportioned and clean-cut appearance. Simpson’s chair designs often showcase sleek curved forms for comfort, outstretched armrests terminate with broad surfaces to serve as a drink or book rest when relaxing. Carving is usually crisp but is used sparingly to create a striking balance for the eye to appreciate the simplicity of form and the elegance of the decoration applied across his designs.Simpson exhibited widely and in 1889 an example of his work was accepted by the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society. It was there that he would meet the architect Charles Voysey who became a great influence; over time his designs became more architectural and simpler with less carving. By 1912, Simpson was exhibiting alongside Voysey and Walton in the Ideal Home Exhibition at Olympia. His entire stand was sold to one client. Later, he was commissioned to carve panels for Blackwell House, designed by Baillie Scott for Sir Edward Holt and such was his skill he was entrusted by Voysey to make a number of furniture commissions.Whilst primarily a wood carver and cabinet-maker, Simpson was also a lecturer and taught classes at his summer home in Windemere, in a bid to further promote the importance of the Arts & Crafts ideology as an effective approach to design. Pupils included Richard Rathbone, Ann Macbeth and Harry Stabler.Although some designs were readily available, such as kettle stands and small stools, other pieces are far less common and were made on request, slightly differing in their design or shape. The following lots wonderfully showcase the exquisite carvings and simple, distinctive forms that have come to characterise Simpson’s work. With a focus on high-quality craftsmanship, it is not surprising that Simpson’s work continues to be popular amongst collectors today.
CHRISTOPHER DRESSER (1834-1904) (PANEL DESIGNER) AESTHETIC MOVEMENT CORNER CABINET, CIRCA 1880 ebonised and gilded wood, with a polychrome-painted panel and mirrored glassDimensions:70.2cm wide, 120.5cm high, 43cm deep, panel 28.5cm x 43.5cmNote: Literature: Dresser C. Studies in Design, Cassel Petter & Galpin, London, the plates by A. Goater, Nottingham, 1876, plate II illus.V&A Collection accession no. W.3-2015, for a related hand screen, decorated with an adaptation of the painted design.Note: This cabinet is a rare example of an object decorated after a published design in Dresser’s most important works, Studies in Design of 1876. Plate II shows two owls standing upright and is captioned "Parental advice". Dresser wrote in the caption text that the design ‘may be painted on the panel of a door, on the door of a cabinet, or in any recess in a wall, especially suited to a smoking-room or nursery." Elsewhere in the text he states that “the sense of humour finds expression in grotesque forms. Plates II (etc…) are illustrations”.It may be that this corner cabinet was decorated under Dresser's direction for the Art Furnishers' Alliance Co. The Art Furnisher's Alliance was the association of art manufacturers established by Christopher Dresser (1834-1904) in 1880. The key objective of the alliance was to buy and sell high-class goods of artistic design and to "complete artistic furnishing of a house". George Hayter Chubb was appointed as Chairman, and Dresser was the 'Art Manager' heading designs for furniture, pottery, glass and metal, aided by Holme and Arthur Liberty. In his preface to Studies in Design, Dresser hoped that the work would assist to “bring about a better style of decoration” and “aid the designer and the manufacturer of decorated objects, by suggesting to them useful ideas”. Whether or not the current lot was made directly under his instruction, the panel inset into the door of this cabinet was undoubtedly the sort of effect on a design Dresser envisaged when he published Studies in Design.
