Oak cupboard 221.1959

Designed by Ernest Gimson and made in his Daneway workshop.

 

Oak with gouged decoration and brass handles

185 x 107.5 x 54.5cm

 

This piece is six-sided. The two central uprights have each been shaped to echo the three-sided front. The top is treated differently – it is nine sided and comes to a shallow point at the centre of each panel. The centre panel is fixed with doors at either side. These open to reveal three shelves which run right through the cupboard. The panelling is echoed in a slightly simpler form on the back.

 

Purchased from the executors of Harry H Peach, through his son, Roger Peach
