HEALS: A LETCHWORTH DRESSER with single shelf and raised back above a rectangular top with twin cupboard doors with central turn button fastening, 54" wide. See illustration.This dresser which may well have had the top rail replaced is very similar to the dresser shown at the Cottage Furniture Exhibition at Letchworth Garden City in 1905 and remained part of their Simple Cottage range for many years. THE DUNSHAY MANOR. FURNITURE BY HEALS OF TOTTENHAM COURT ROAD. Dunshay Manor is often described as the quintessential Purbeck Manor House. Of late Medieval origin, and located amongst the beautiful rolling hills, it is without doubt one of the regions finest properties. The successful artist George Spencer Watson and his wife Hilda who was involved in the avant-garde world of Mime and dance purchased the property in 1923. It was here that their daughter Mary, born in 1913, developed her love of direct carving and developed a career as a highly successful sculptor. Lot 443 in this sale is as fine an example of Maryís sculpture in wood as has come to the market, and it is appropriate that this was exhibited at Heals highly influential Mansard Gallery in 1937. The furnishings at Dunshay reflect the coupleís position in the leading artistic circles of the time, and the group of furniture included here, which was removed from the property following the death of Mary Spencer Watson, reflects this. It is unclear when this furniture was purchased from Heals of Tottenham Court Road, however it is understood that Ambrose Heal and Hilda were close friends and therefore his furniture will have been an obvious choice for the new home. Ambrose Heal, born into the successful family firm at the heart of furniture retailing in Tottenham Court Road, began designing furniture at the end of the nineteenth century. It was in the late Edwardian period that his designs began to find a character of their own, building on the influences from the Cotswold group of designers and other members of the Arts and Crafts movement. The furniture in this collection represents a number of key aspects of Healís production. The two simple bow-fronted washstands and the dressing table are similar to the earliest work, being very similar to a bow fronted dressing table that was exhibited at the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society exhibition of 1910. The smaller dresser, the four chairs and the set of hanging wall shelves are from the ëLetchworthí range developed to provide good quality furniture in a fashionable style at a realistic price. The bureau with the compressed heart handles and the dining table with the slightly bulbous turned legs, show Ambrose Healís own personal adaptation of the Arts and Crafts as applied to furniture design. The magnificent Chestnut dresser is the finest piece in the collection, and represents the type of fine and elaborate furniture of which Ambrose Heal would have been most proud. This appears to be one of only two examples of this design known, and possibly one of only two ever manufactured. With the compressed heart handles, chip carving, and turn button cupboard doors this shows Heal at his most confident and most successful.
