SIDNEY BARNSLEY: A STAINED OAK KNEELING RAIL, with a rectangular top supported on four hexagonal uprights with through tennoned crossrails, above an open rail of five panels with chamfered edges, on sledge type feet with shaped toe, 34.5" high, 60" wide. See illustration This rail is believed to be a prototype for the kneeling rails that were use in St Andrews Chapel in Westminster Cathedral. The Roman Catholic cathedral at Westminster was consecrated in 1910, and with numerous carvings by Eric Gill, mosaics by George Jack and work by many other leading designers of the time, the cathedral is one of the most spectacular buildings of the period. The chapel of St Andrew was designed by the leading Arts and Crafts architect Robert Weir Schultz who had been put forward for the commission by the Marquess of Bute. The Bute family had a well recorded love of the progressive arts, and it is not surprising that they were involved with the building of the new Cathedral. The choir stalls and clergy seats in the chapel were designed by Ernest Gimson and Weir Schultz, and like the kneeling rails, they were made in ebony inlaid in bone. A prototype for one of the clergy seats from the chapel is now in the collection at Cheltenham Museum and Art Gallery, having previously been in the collection of Weir Schultz (CAGM 1941.225.121). It is likely that this prototype was produced both to assess the design and as an aid to costing. The current lot may well be the prototype for the kneeling rails in the chapel. The examples in use are made of ebony and bone, and this might well explain why the cheaper alternative of stained oak was used for the working model. A drawing of this item by Sidney Barnsley is in the Cheltenham Museum collection, 1972.186:1. the design dated to c1923.
