POA
George Faulkner Armitage (1849-1937) was known for his carved oak settle featuring carved half sunflowers and differing carved florets to the centres. The settle has wide sweeping arms and is stood on turned feet to the front, united by stretchers with a moulded edge. Armitage's best-known commission was for The Fine Art Society in New Bond St, London, where he decorated the interiors and designed all the furniture for the Fine Art Society’s showrooms in 1887. All the furniture for that commission was made by Collinson & Lock of London.
