Original Betty Joel Art Deco Australian Walnut Linen Press

About the Item

An Art Deco Linen cupboard by Betty Joel. Australian walnut veneered on mahogany with satin birch interior. Upper cupboard section with shelved interior and lower three pull out drawers. Original chrome handles. Designer and makers label to the back. Betty Joel was one of London's leading furniture retailers and designers in the 1920's and 1930's. At the end of the First World War, together with her husband, Betty Joel set up a furniture making firm in South Hayling, near Portsmouth, with a showroom in London. They employed yacht fitters to make simple, functional furniture in teak and oak to Betty Joel's own designs, and by the late 20's she had established a distinctive style, making use of simple, unadorned curved edges which she said echoed "the Feminine form. The firm won many contracts to decorate libraries, board rooms, shops and hotels, including those in the Savoy Group. Among her private clients were Lord Louis Mountbatten and Winston Churchill. Joel retired from business in 1937. Item Number: 2703242 All of our furniture is extensively polished and restored where necessary to the highest standards.
