D.L Hadden (British 20th Century) Design for Armorial Bearing for Derby City Council Chambers for Geo M Hammer Watercolour and pencil 52x74.5cm Signed and dated 1956 A traditional coat of arms design for the city council chambers with directions by the artist that it is to be carved in lime and coloured as depicted. One of the many works Hadden produced during his time as senior designer at Geo M Hammer. Hadden was a senior designer for Geo M Hammer, designers and retailers of school and ecclesiastical furniture. Their lift-top school desks are particularly well regarded, and always carried their brass name plate. Hammer were renowned for their interior woodwork, they were commissioned to undertake the choir stalls in Sir Basil Spence’s ground-breaking Coventry Cathedral. Dick Russell (brother of Gordon Russell and who worked for his brother before World War Two) famously designed the chairs to be used by the congregation; as all-wood stacking chairs they were innovative at the time. As senior designer, Hadden was at the heart of the Coventry project.
