Liberty & Co., Style of E. W. Godwin. An Anglo-Japanese Ebonized Plant Stand
£2,800
An Anglo-Japanese ebonized plant stand retailed by Liberty & Co., designed in the style of Edward William Godwin, with tapered splayed legs and open lattice bracing that reflect his pursuit of refined, lightweight construction. The pyramidal form and geometric grille under-structure reference Japanese kōshi latticework, while the ebonized finish exemplifies the Anglo-Japanese taste promoted by Liberty during the Aesthetic Movement. Godwin’s direct association with Liberty in the 1880s further underscores the connection between this design vocabulary and the firm’s Japanese-inspired furnishings.
