E. W. Godwin for William Watt, Attributed. Walnut Plant Stand with Angular Supports
Price on Application
This item is price on application due to its rarity and importance.
Attributed to E. W. Godwin and probably made by William Watt, this plant stand in walnut is aligned to the Aesthetic Movement (1860–1890), c.1870, British. It is formed with a square upper platform, a lower square shelf and four tapering square-section legs.
The frame is tall and open. Narrow rails sit below the upper top, while the lower shelf is held within the main structure. Beneath the shelf, angular supports run down to the lower stretchers, forming triangular side panels and giving the base its distinctive braced construction.
The design follows Godwin’s coffee table with angular supports, originally designed for his own use in 1866–67 and illustrated in Susan Weber Soros, The Secular Furniture of E. W. Godwin, p.143, ill.207 and 207-1.
