Price on Application
This item is price on application due to its rarity and importance.
Attributed to E. W. Godwin and made by Collinson & Lock, this ebonised and parcel gilt side table chess table aligned to the Aesthetic Movement (circa 1860 to circa 1890), c.1875.
The table has an octagonal glass top set above hand painted scenes on silk, combining a decorative upper surface with the compact proportions of a side table or games table. The ebonised ground and parcel gilt detailing give the piece the rich graphic contrast associated with advanced Aesthetic Movement furniture of the period.
The design is recorded in Clive Edwards, Collinson & Lock 1870–1900, illustration 4.165.* See last image
