專家說明

Gordon Russell personally only designed furniture for a short period of time following the First World War until 1930, after which works were designed and sold under his name by others.  The items offered in the following lots are for this early period and demonstrate the inspiration he received from the Arts & Crafts movement, in particular by William Morris, Ernest Gimson and C. R. Ashbee.
