E W Godwin for Collinson and Lock. An extremely rare Anglo Japanese rosewood coffee table

POA

E W Godwin. Collinson and Lock. An extremely rare Anglo Japanese rosewood coffee table. To my knowledge no other rosewood examples of this coffee table exist. An entry in one of Godwin’s cash books reads, “1874 Apr. 10 Coffee Table Grey Towers designed for the sum of 3-3-0" (VA AAD 4 /13-98, fol. 23), indicating that Godwin designed special versions of this type of table for Collinson and Lock in the 1870s being in Rosewood it is likely this table is one of those versions. For a sketch for this table, see Susan Weber Soros, The Secular Furniture of E W Godwin, page 147, illustration 212.1. Height 27", Width 16.5", Depth 17" Circa 1870 .
