John Moyr Smith Attributed, for Collinson & Lock. A walnut and ebonised chaise longue

John Moyr Smith (attributed) for Collinson and Lock. A walnut and ebonised chaise longue, with triangular 'A' frame to one end, ebonised tramlines throughout, with a lower turned gallery and turned feet, the semi upholstered back with open turned gallery and incised zig-zag and dot details, 79cm high, 170cm long, 70cm deep These details point towards the Dresser studios where Moyr Smith designed with Dresser. This chaise is illustrated in the Collinson and Lock catalogue of 1871 for which Smith drew all the illustrations. The incised zig-zag and dot details are not Collcutt's hand and being so particular make it almost certain that Moyr Smith indeed designed this. Michael Whiteway notes that Collcutt designed nearly all of the furniture in the Collinson and Lock catalogue of 1871 which Moyr Smith illlustrated and may have contributed some of the designs. See Whiteway, Michael '19th Century Design', p. 283 .
