ERNEST ARCHIBALD TAYLOR (1874-1951) FOR WYLIE & LOCHHEAD, GLASGOW SIDEBOARD, CIRCA 1902 inlaid oak, with patinated metal fittingsDimensions:191cm wide, 132cm high, 68cm deepNote: Note: Initially apprenticed in the Glasgow shipbuilding industry, E. A. Taylor trained as an artist at the Glasgow School of Art, where he met Jessie M. King around 1898. Taylor joined the Glasgow cabinetmakers and retailers Wylie & Lochhead as a trainee designer in 1893. His furniture designs for the firm brought him great acclaim with exhibitions at the 1901 Glasgow International Exhibition and, with his fiancée Jessie King, a series of stained-glass panels for the Turin International Exhibition of Modern Decorative Art in 1902. Taylor went on to lecture in furniture design at the Glasgow School of Art from 1903 to 1905. In 1908 he married Jessie King and moved to Manchester to manage and design for George Wragge Ltd where he produced many designs for stained glass. Between 1911 and 1914 the Taylors lived in Paris where they established an art school – the Shealing Atelier. This rare sideboard by Taylor demonstrates his skills as a furniture designer, the inlaid panels characteristic of the burgeoning 'Glasgow Style', the mouldings and cut-out features enlivening the solid form. This example is similar in form to a sideboard designed by Taylor for William Douglas Weir (later Lord Weir) in Glasgow around 1901, following the success of his room for Wylie & Lochhead at the Glasgow International Exhibition the same year.

Patented in Paris in 1855 by Francois Charles Lepage, 'literary man of Paris', he claimed 'A New Composition of materials which may be employed as a substitute for wood, leather, bone, metal and other hard or plastic substances'. The moulded material was made from finely ground wood 'flour' mixed with a binder, either egg, gelatin or in the case of Lepage, blood albumen which was obtained from the Paris slaughterhouses. The wood 'flour' used was either ebony or rosewood, giving either a black or brown finish. The mixture was dried and ground to a fine powder. The powder was placed in a steel mould and compressed in a powerful hydraulic press whilst being heated by steam. The final product was then polished to a dense glossy finish imparted by the surface of the steel mould. Lepage produced a variety of small household items including combs and pipe stems etc., and The SOCIETE DU BOIS DURCI was established to produce desk items, especially decorative inkwell stands and plaques. The factory was at Grenelle in Paris and products were sold through A Latry & Cie. of 7 Rue du Grand-Chantier, (Au Marais) in Paris. In 1862 he exhibited the wares of the Societé at the International Exhibition. By the end of the 20th Century, the firm had been taken over by MIOM (La Manufacture d'Isolants et Objets Moulés) which was founded in 1898. They continued to make bois durci until about 1920, by which time it had been superseded by newer plastics materials, such as bakelite.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
