Liberty Exhibition 2009 Catalogue
Welcome to the annual Arts and Crafts selling exhibition .
Following the success of last year’s show we are extending the 2009 Exhibition by a week and this will run from Thursday 4th June (10.00am start) through till Sunday 28th June, on the 4th floor central atrium. I have been retained to act as curator for this year’s show and again the collection reflects a superb selection of British art and design that flourished from 1850 to 1950.
This year the Exhibition will include an important George Walton bedroom suite, commissioned for Elm Bank 1898, a rare Morris & Co three seat settee to a design by Ford Maddox Brown, a magnificent Donegal carpet by CFA Voysey and an extremely rare Rowley Gallery Screen, ‘The Jungle' attributed to William Chase.
Other pieces include furniture by Liberty & Co, Heals, Shapland and Petter, Gordon Russell, alongside John Pearson and Newlyn copper works, Archibald Knox ‘Tudric' pieces and a fabulous display of Arts & Crafts embroideries, textiles, ceramics, metal ware, pictures and mirrors.
Not all items are photographed but pictures will be available upon request. For these and other enquiries during the show, please contact me on 020 7734 1234 and I will be at Liberty's for the duration of the Exhibition. The catalogue will be available on-line from 4th June.
I hope you enjoy this year’s show and look forward to your continued custom.
