(Decorative Arts: Design since 1860, 2nd November 2020) H. W. BATLEY (1846-1932) FOR GILLOW & CO., LANCASTER AESTHETIC MOVEMENT MAHOGANY CORNER CABINET, CIRCA 1875 the upper section with fretwork, an arrangement of open shelves and a cupboard, the base with blind-fretwork drawer, stamped maker's marks to the drawer GILLOW & CO./ LANCASTER/ L11046 87cm wide, 229cm high, 55cm deep Literature: Soros, Susan Weber Rediscovering H.W. Batley (1846-1932), British Aesthetic Movement Artist and Designer, Studies in the Decorative Arts, VI, no. 2 (Spring-Summer 1999), pp. 6-8 Note: Soros states that what distinguishes Batley's work from other art furniture by designers such as T.E. Collcut and E.W. Godwin is the dense effect of the sheer quantity of decorative devices he used, including tooled leather, turned spindles, applied and painted panels, carved details, and decorative mouldings, as in the present example. Batley trained under Bruce Talbert and designed in the Gothic Revival style in the 1860s, however although this cabinet demonstrates some Gothic origins, here Batley incorporates Japonesque Aesthetic details in an asymmetric composition.
