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. Professionally reupholstered in a period Arts and Crafts fabric. There is an example in the V&A and also in the Kirkland museum in Denver, Colorado. USA.

Glasgow School Oak Armchair George Walton Style 'Abingwood' Liberty & Co
By George Walton
Located in Norwich, GB
A superb Glasgow School Arts And Crafts oak armchair. After a design by George Walton for Liberty & Co. Circa 1895.
The chair is almost identical to the George Walton design, but has a variant shaped top to the back. Literature: Daryl Bennett, 'Liberty Furniture 1875-1915'.4 Art Furniture, Page 131, plate 4.91. Sketch illustration of George Walton design. Please see photographs.
The seating retains the original webbing and filling and has been padded and re-covered with brown leather and copperised studs. The studs are set how they were originally on the chair. Please refer to the last photograph showing the frame before re-upholstery. They have been slightly aged.
The oak has the original patina, which has been waxed. There are some marks around the frame with an indentation to note to the top of one arm. The edges to the legs are knocked with use.
The chair has a flattened curved arm with an elongated tapering back. The Abingwood design was considered some of the most distinctive of Walton's designs, strongly influenced by C R Mackintosh...
