S&B 4 & GW Ex 1 - An extremely rare & important Arts & Crafts Glasgow School oak settle designed by George Walton one of 2 ever made for one his earliest Kodak commissions at 59, Brompton Rd, London. The pure Glasgow design is very complicated indeed & one can see Mackintosh's influence clearly in this piece which would have rubbed off on him while working with Mackintosh for Miss Cranston's tearooms. George Eastman was not happy that Walton had been brought in to design the top Kodak showrooms but Walton had conquered Davidson & Davidson never had any trouble squeezing the money out of Eastman to employ Walton's expertise & by the end of 1898 they had renamed his work for the showrooms to 'Kodak-oration, the decorative work of George Walton' & that time the name George Walton & the Eastman company were fused as one. 1900 was the peak of Walton's work for Kodak & the Brompton Rd commission was probably the best he achieved for Kodak alongside The Strand & Brussels showrooms. See George Walton. Designer & Architect by Karen Moon. Page 81 & 82. Circa 1900. Height 55", Width 60 1/4", Depth 16 1/4". £POA.
