Superb beautifully designed inlaid oak occasional or side table by Arthur Simpson of Kendal; c1910.
Furniture by AWS with inlay is rather rare and this whole table (a variation of the later Ghyll Head table) is very much in the understated manner of his good friend, the architect-designer, CFA Voysey, who did in fact commission some pieces from Simpson. This same table is illustrated in the recent book by Hugh Wright, " The Beautiful Furniture of The Simpsons of Kendal" page 171 and listed as " CFAV table from Broadleys (now the Windermere Motorboat Club)". Broadleys was a house that CFA Voysey designed.
Approx 25" high, 20" wide & 15" depth.
