About the Item

Important Arts & Crafts cupboard with large panelled single door Projecting architectural mouldings, raised on ball feet 2 shelves within and a brass heart shaped escutcheon Oak This design is Illustrated and held in the collection of The RIBA Designed by Charles Francis Annesley Voysey (own use) Possibly for his house, The Orchard, Chorley Wood. Circa 1904 Voysey shows a great deal of restraint in this design, this is possibly due to the piece being for his own use. Its strengths coming from proportion and balance and true to his intentions of ‘sense of proportion and puritanical love of simplicity’. Voysey advocated that pieces should be devoid of any finish and left "clean to the plane". The colour has naturally darkened over the 120 years with the original colour being the inside of the door. You can only imagine how this piece would have been viewed by the critics in 1904, at the time of the great excesses of the Victorians. Voysey pieces rarely come to the market and even scarcer are items he had made for himself, such as this cupboard.

Charles Spooner Arts & Crafts Oak secretaire Cabinet with Serpentine Stretchers
By Charles Spooner
Located in London, GB
Charles Sydney Spooner, probably made by J H Brandt. A rare oak secretaire cabinet on stand, with quarter veneered panels to the doors and drawers with black and green diamond shaped handles. The doors open to reveal adjustable shelves. The sides and lower stand are all made from solid quarter sawn oak with beautiful figuring. The slightly graduated mouldings to the waist frame the tidy little writing area. Standing on squashed ball feet, united with serpentine entwined stretchers. This is an oak variation of the cabinet Charles Spooner exhibited at the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society in 1910. One can see that both cabinets are essentially the same design, one with drawers one with a pull down writing area. Both have quartered veneered panels to the doors, the Mahogany one with applied moulded decoration to the doors. See : illustration below from : Arts and Crafts Furniture by John Andrews. See also : Charles Spooner Arts and Crafts Architect, page 209 illustration 10:28. : Fine Art Society for a Coromandel variation and Puritan Values : Important Furniture Page 1, for a larger four door lacquered panelled variation.

Born at St Mary's Hospital, Paddington (London), Spooner was the second of 5 children of Charles Spooner and Sarah Frances Trinder, who lived at Brook Green, Hammersmith. Spooner became an architect and an instructor of furniture design at the London County Council's Central School of Arts and Crafts. He was a pupil and then assistant of Sir A W Blomfield and in 1890 won the RIBA’s Soane Medallion (Proc RIBA). He specialised in smaller churches and houses turning out some beautiful and complete buildings. He was influenced by E W Godwin and contemporary American architects such as H H Richardson.
