About the Item

George Walton for John Rowntree's cafe & Miss Cranston tearooms. An Arts and Crafts walnut Armchair. George Walton first designed this armchair which had a cane seat and back, around 1896, the year he began designing the interiors of fashionable tea rooms for the John Rowntree cafe in Scarborough and Miss Cranston Buchanan Street tea rooms in Glasgow. Walton also used this design for Kodak’s European branches, working for George Davison who joined the Eastman Company in 1897 for which he designed the shop fronts, interiors, and furniture. By 1908 Davison was able to commission George Walton to design him a house, the White House on the banks of the Thames at Shiplake, Oxfordshire, where he used this design of chair again in the dining room. There is an example in the V&A and also in the Kirkland Museum in Denver, Colorado.
