A rare and fine Arts & Crafts oak settle c1900 designed by George Montague Ellwood (1875-1955) for J.S.Henry, London.
The settle has a shaped top rail with shelf and panels below and raised upholstery to the backrest and sides. The elongated front supports have a decorative foliage carved design. The settle has been fully stripped and re-upholstered in a good quality William Morris ‘Voysey’ fabric to include a removable seat cushion. In good condition but there has been a repair to the back legs (seen in image). Studio lighting has made the fabric look orange in colour, whereby the fabric is actually red and can be seen on last image.
I have added an image of the literature from The Studio volume 16 of 1899 page 246 where a line drawing of a similar example is illustrated as part of a feature, Scheme of Decoration for a Batchelor’s Room.
