Maurice Adams Burr Walnut Dressing Table

A stylish burr walnut dressing table/chest by the influential designer Maurice Adams. Of excellent construction in solid walnut with attractive burr walnut veneers. With triple, adjustable mirrors all fitted with their original beveled glass plates. The base section with an arrangement of 5 drawers and a further 2 smaller drawers to the super-structure. All standing on characteristic out-swept legs. Great opportunity to acquire a rare and highly desirable item of early 20th century design at its finest. Maurice Adams saw himself as the natural successor to the great furniture makers of the eighteenth century and had ambitious plans for 20th-century British interior design, including a proposed 'Maurice Adams house', in which the architecture and interior furnishings would be designed entirely by Adams throughout, in a streamlined, Georgian style. All Adams's furniture was made by hand in Gloucester and displayed in Adams's showroom in Portman Square, London.
