Liberty Exhibition 2011 Catalogue
Welcome to the annual Liberty Arts and Crafts selling exhibition.
Liberty is supporting the V&A's current exhibition 'The Cult of Beauty' celebrating Liberty's strong association with the Aesthetic Movement.
This year's exhibition will include some magnificent pieces representing the Aesthetic Movement with key designers such as E. W. Godwin, Christopher Dresser, Walter Crane and William Morris as well as a wonderful collection of pieces from the Arts & Crafts Movement.
The catalogue does not give items' dimensions, so, for these or any other enquiries please use the contact form (see link above), or email, quoting the reference number. I will be at Liberty’s most days, but if you want to talk to me about any pieces please contact me on my mobile 07939 226 143.
I hope you enjoy the exhibition and I thank you for your continued custom.
