RARE Sir Ambrose Heal Arts and Crafts oak chest #402. English, early 20th century. Excellent original condition. Some minor lip loss on the top drawer. Hand-hammered drawer pulls and hand-cut dovetails. Four graduated drawers with individual dust covers. Please see: Sir Ambrose Heal by Oliver S. Heal, pages 175 and 278, for reference to this exact chest. Only 50 were produced. They were sold from 1904 to 1927. A quote from his grandson's book: "Inspired by the likes of John Ruskin and William Morris, Ambrose Heal transformed the family furnishing business, Heal's of Tottenham Court Road, London, to provide a broad middle-class public with distinctive, well-designed, well-made furniture and furnishings." Heal was progressive and forward-thinking. He encouraged his staff to become employee shareholders, displayed the works of the most avant-garde artists of the time, and commissioned advertising posters from the best graphic designers of the day. Clearly his philosophies tied into his designs and the overall Arts and Crafts design movement. Measures 30 inches wide, 36 inches high and 18.5 inches deep.
