POA
Charles Bevan. For Marsh and Jones of Leeds.
A rare Gothic Revival Walnut with Burr Walnut top side table, with molded edge to the burr walnut top, a single drawer and raised on corinthian column legs with ring turnings and dot and circular inlays, united at the bottom with stylized quatrefoil cut-outs within a square and through pegged joints to the tops. The shaped and molded feet are united by a stretcher with through pegged joints.
Bevan worked with a number of furniture manufacturers including the names Gillows, Holland & Sons, J.P Seddon, and Marsh & Jones of Leeds, later reinvented as Marsh, Jones & Cribb of Leeds. His association with Marsh & Jones led to the production of an extensive collection of pieces for Sir Titus Salt, a Yorkshire based mill owner, for his home; hence the preservation of so much of his work from the years 1865-72. In this collection can be found an elaborate Medieval style bedroom suite and a marquetry grand piano. These pieces are currently housed in Leeds City Art Galleries, Temple Newsam House.
