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.

John Barnard, 'The Diana Willow Table', the yew wood oval top with an organic base 'growing' through the top surface before reconnecting with the top 74 x 149 x 97cm (29 x 58 x 38in) The original table and design by John Barnard was commissioned as a wedding gift to HRH The Prince and Princess of Wales from the Royal County of Norfolk; the young Princes, William and Harry, did their homework on their table. John Barnard continues to make limited editions of the table by commission including this table. John Barnard studied furniture making, following the designs and tradition of the Arts and Crafts movement. He opened his first workshop in 1971. The Diana Willow table is designed to echo the form of a weeping willow tree. Hundreds of hours are taken to achieve the form and finish to the table.
§ Vanessa Bell (British, 1879-1961) The Kitchen Table, Charleston, 1948 signed lower right with initials "VB" oil on canvas 70 x 51cm (27 x 20in) Provenance: The Bloomsbury Workshop, 12 Galen Place, London, WC1. Vanessa Bell, born in 1879, was a member of the Bloomsbury Group and sister of Virginia Woolf. Studying at the Slade School of Art in 1901, she was said by her family to have been excellent at portraiture but she chose to specialise in still lifes, landscapes and interiors with figures. Vanessa Bell was inspired by Roger Fry's Post-Impressionist exhibitions to use more colour and bold arrangements, later in 1914 turning to abstraction. Sadly in 1941, after the death of Virginia, Bell withdrew to isolation, only keeping in contact with close family and artist Duncan Grant. However she continued to paint until she died in 1961. A little craquelure above the mussel pot, otherwise appears fine.

Perhaps a little dirty. Old exhibition label to the reverse - probably framed by Vera Stevens using one of her old frames..
