POA
E W Godwin (attributed) probably for Collinson and Lock. A rare and exceptional Anglo Japanese mahogany side table with semi-circular legs. The semi-circular legs with three Thebes style upper central supports at opposite sides emulating a sun burst and uniting the top. With three parallel curved uprights to each end uniting the upper and lower stretchers with corner supports and also uniting the lower shelf. The edges with subtle concave mouldings. The bowed legs are very reminiscent of two designs from tables in a sketchbook from 1876 and 1881 (Elizabeth Aslin, E.W.Godwin page 79) and again on a design for three cabinets in circa 1878 and circa 1885 (Susan Soros, Secular Furniture, page 218). The three splayed Thebes style uprights are used by Godwin reversed in these furniture designs. Height 27", Width 24", Depth 18" Circa 1870 .
