20th century design & art
A vintage stickback chair designed by Ronald Ingles for Heals, 1950s. A great looking design, reminiscent of George Nakashima’s 1940s ‘Straight’ chair and Paul Mccobb’s 1950s ‘Planner’ chair.
Nicely shaped wide seat with curved stick backrest.
All structurally solid with no wobbles. The finish has some wear here and there but nothing distracting.
45.5cm wide x 51cm deep x 73.5cm high x 43cm seat height.
Can be carefully packaged and sent by Parcelforce for £30.
An interesting abstract mixed media on paper signed ‘Cann’. I can’t make out the date but it came from a portfolio of 1960s artwork by the same artist.
Printed background with overpainted detail, an energetic arrangement of shapes and motifs in a gorgeous earthy palette of colours.
Newly framed.
59.5cm wide x 40cm high

Large nude sculpture, made of plaster, British circa mid-twentieth century.
A well-executed piece with pleasing patina, artist is unknown. The previous owner remembered it always being in her parents’ house which would date it around mid-century, possibly earlier. Her father was an architect but also an artist so it could possibly be by him, unfortunately it is not signed.
Sturdy and quite heavy. The plaster has aged nicely, there is a bit of loss to one foot and possibly some old repairs.
A set of four dining chairs, 2 carvers and 2 side chairs, unknown maker but most probably English, early 20th century.
Simple, quiet design, wooden stick frame with nicely shaped backrests. The carvers are wider with a larger seat area and curved armrests. Comfortable woven cord seats.
The chairs are all strong and sturdy. One of the carvers has a split one of the back posts but it looks stable. One armrest has a slight bit of movement in it.
The finish on the chairs has age and patina and there are marks and some scuffs. The finish on the back of the carvers is more rustic and worn. The woven seats are in very good condition and all strong. More photos can be provided on request.
Measurements of the carvers are 61.5 wide (inc arms) x 56cm deep x 84cm high x 69.75cm arm height x 46cm seat height. The side chairs are 47.75cm wide x 84cm high x 48cm deep x 45.5cm seat height.
