PHILIP SPEAKMAN WEBB (1831-1915) FOR MORRIS & CO. LARGE ARTS & CRAFTS OAK CABINET, CIRCA 1890 mahogany, with brass fittings, and astragal glazed doors

(242cm wide, 235.5cm wide, 78cm deep)

Note: The canopy over the central shelves recalls the canopy Philip Webb employed in the settle which he designed for his friend and associate William Morris' Red House, which subsequently moved to Kelmscott Manor. In keeping with Arts & Crafts values this cabinet recalls earlier historic forms, it is devoid of superfluous ornamentation and places an emphasis on the overall form, structure and materials used.
