Edward William Godwin, attributed. made by William A & S. Smee

An Anglo-Japanese walnut spindle back armchair with cloud-style decoration to the top. The arms have clever strengthening details where they meet the back legs, which are incorporated into the design. The front legs and stretcher are identical to chairs by Godwin made by William Watt. The cloud shape detail to the top is comparable to chairs in Soros, Susan Weber 'The Secular Furniture of E. W. Godwin,' p. 112.

Professionally reupholstered leather seat. Metal makers label beneath the seat for William A & S. Smee, 89 Finsbury Pavement, London. Godwin designed for William A & S. Smee; his designs were exhibited by Smee at the Furniture Trades Exhibition in 1883. See Azlin, Elizabeth 'E. W. Godwin', London: John Murray, p. 22.
