DT - The overall design of this piece is magnificent, the level of craftsmanship is incredible, handmade throughout, the precision dovetailing to the drawers, its serpentine side drawers, how the inlays to the drawers meet opposite under the handles & stop just before the escutcheons, how they are perfectly matched in each corner. A superb example of style, design & craftsmanship by a master of cabinet making Arthur Simpson of Kendall. (please scroll further for more pictures & information).

DT - The hand made copper metalwork was designed & made by Richard Rathbone, who made metalwork for Morris & Co & Arthur Simpson of Kendal. He was one of the best metalworkers of the Arts & Crafts period (for further examples of his work see The Studio year book 1899-1900 page 255), the handles all formed in the shapes of hearts some incorporating the escutcheons all with hand twisted drops, the mirror posts with tremendous bases curving up to hold the bevelled mirrors with a subtle curl to each corner, the 2 mirrors both swivel forwards, backwards & side to side, with Knee space & foot rests to each side. The piece is unsigned but was certainly made by Arthur Simpson who also made furniture to the designs of CFA Voysey. The price reflects its quality and design. You may call or E-Mail me if you would like to know the price and more about it... My kind regards Anthony Geering.
