Arts and Crafts Side Table

Arts and Crafts Side Table Code 1213 Size: 72H x 41 x 40cm Wylie & Lochhead Antique Furniture Antique Furniture by the Scottish cabinet makers Wylie & Lochhead means the piece is going to be of superb quality and a very high level of craftsmanship. Wylie & Lochhead made antique furniture in traditional style like in the Chippendale designs but also in the Arts & Crafts design. They were famous for their stunning selection of antique wardrobes, antique dining chairs and antique dining tables. In 1829 Wylie & Lochhead was started by cabinetmakers Robert Wylie and William Lochhead mainly as coffin builders but they quickly became very successful with many workshops and furniture showrooms in Glasgow, Scotland. Wylie & Lochhead became renowned for their artistic designs and high levels of craftsmanship especially in the late Victorian and Edwardian periods. Wylie & Lochhead most well known designers were E.A Taylor, John Ednie and George Logan. Their Arts & Crafts Furniture designs were considered of such high quality they were displayed at the Turin International Exhibition alongside those of Rennie Mackintosh and the Glasgow Four. Wylie & Lochhead soon opened showrooms in England in the large cities like London and Manchester but they also began selling abroad like in America. There is no makers mark on this piece, sometimes there would have been a little rectangular plaque but this at some point has gone. Being in the antique furniture game most of my life on and off and with learning furniture (especially Scottish) from family who were dealers I can confidently say this piece is genuine and correct. More than likely retailed through one of their shops some pieces were also retailed through Liberty and co. Structurally very sound just the usual split to the top and some wear but a highly sought after piece that is a superb collectible that will be adored.
