Maurice Adams saw himself as the natural successor to the great furniture makers of the eighteenth century and had ambitious plans for 20th-century British interior design. All Adams's furniture was made by hand in Gloucester and displayed in Adams's showroom in Portman Square, London.
This pair of side cabinets, designed for the sitting room, was part of Adams's 'Grosvenor' range and could be made to fit any specification. The interior was fitted with a cupboard which Adams suggested might store books or music. 'Some form of side table or cabinet is necessary in every drawing room', Adams observed, in his treatise on furniture and interior design, Modern Decorative Art, published in 1930.
The Grosvenor range was distinguished by its highly finished veneers. This emphasis on glossy veneers is characteristic of much of Adams's work. The designer praised the marble-like effect of veneers and their ability to exploit the 'natural beauty' of figured woods. The curvaceous shape of this cabinet displays the veneers to maximum effect.
A cabinet of the same design is found in the V&A’s collection.
