Betty JoelConsole, designed for Marion Brownlie Blackwell, 1937White sycamore, glass.80.2 x 74 x 36.5 cm Produced by Betty Joel, Ltd., Knightsbridge, London.Footnotes:LiteratureRoger Shuff Yatol, 'A Moderne Home for a Modern Woman: Marion Brownlie Blackwell and 1 The Ridings, Ealing', The Decorative Arts Society Journal, 2020, p. 67Bonhams wishes to thank Clive Stewart-Lockhart, Betty Joel's great-nephew, for his assistance with the cataloguing of the present lot. Lizzie BroadbentFounder of the project 'Women Who Meant Business' (www.womenwhomeantbusiness.com)Betty Joel (1894-1985) was one of the foremost designers in the inter-war period. She had a rapid rise to prominence. Self-taught, she began designing furniture for her own home and then for friends, made by her husband, David. In 1921, when she was 27, they set up Betty Joel Ltd. The company's first public outing was at the (Daily Mail) Ideal Home Exhibition in March 1922 where their 'Token' range of furniture, so named because of it was made of teak and oak, was widely praised for its beauty and craftsmanship. Key to the business's ongoing success was Betty's ability to create furniture that was both functional and beautiful.In 1924, Betty and David opened their first London store at 177 Sloane Street and three years later moved to much larger premises at 25 Knightsbridge which revealed a dozen carefully-styled rooms displaying furniture, rugs, lighting and curtains. During the 1930s Betty expanded further into the area of interior design, creating complete show rooms and apartments. Lord Mountbatten and Winston Churchill were just two of her high-profile private clients. Her work could be seen in some of the most iconic buildings of the 1930s: the Daily Express building on Fleet Street; Shell Mex House on the Strand; and Viyella House in Nottingham. Her panelling adorned the walls of Coutts' Bank in Park Lane. Harley Street patients leant on her reception desk. Guests at the Savoy Hotel and transatlantic voyagers on the RMS Queen Mary sat in her armchairs. A radio she designed for Kolster-Brandes Ltd in 1933 was 'one of the sensations' of Radiolympia, with 2,500 sets sold on one day alone. Even HRH The Duchess of York bought one. That year Betty was named alongside Gracie Fields, Madeleine Carroll, Jessie Matthews and Gertrude Lawrence as one of the highest-earning women in the country and a new factory was built in Kingston-upon-Thames to cope with demand. In the spring of 1935, the Royal Academy held its now famed exhibition of British Design in Industry, with work on show by Duncan Grant, Vanessa Bell, Susie Cooper and Oliver Hill. Betty designed a bed on a revolving platform as the controversial centrepiece for a bedroom design. In 1936, a national newspaper described Betty as 'one of Britain's leading designers of furniture and among the few women in the history of furniture designing who have touched anything like eminence in this most specialised craft.' It predicted that in a couple of hundred years, collectors would be running after Joel furniture 'as today they chase Chippendale or search for Sheraton'. However, a year later, Betty's marriage to David unravelled. She left both him and the business and never did any more design work. The company was re-established as David Joel Ltd. and Betty's reputation faded. For many decades it seemed that the forecast of greatness would be remarkably inaccurate. However, since the mid-1980s her profile has started to rise again and now finally her work is attracting the attention it deserves.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP For auctions held in Scotland: Lots will be moved to an offsite storage location (Constantine, Constantine House, North Caldeen Road, Coatbridge ML5 4EF, Scotland, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.
