Attributed to E. W. Godwin for Collinson & Lock, a coromandel wood occasional table, the square top with parquetry banding above second tier below, raised on four ring-turned legs 72 x 51 x 51cm (28 x 20 x 20in) Literature: For a similar example, see 'The Secular Furniture of E. W. Godwin' by Susan Weber Soros, publ Yale University Press, 1999, plate 212 E W Godwin (1833-1886) British architect and designer was described by Max Beerbohm as "the greatest aesthete of them all". His work embodied the aesthetic movement of 1865 to1885. He trained as an architect and his work included the original designs for Bedford Park and James Whistler's house in Tite Street Chelsea. But the scope of his talent was not limited to buildings, he designed wallpaper, textiles, stained glass, lighting and costume and stage designs - particularly during the years he lived with the actress Ellen Terry. His furniture designs were Anglo Japanese in style, often using ebonised wood. They achieved the perfect balance between the Aesthetic concept of "art for art's sake" and Godwin's insistence that excess in design (and indeed life) ought to be avoided. He was engaged by many of the leading manufacturers including William Watt, Collinson and Lock and Gillow and Co and remains one of the most important designers of his era, with work held in public collections throughout Britain.
