C.F.A. Voysey (1857-1941) was an architect-designer who advocated
honest and thorough design, and championed high standards of
craftsmanship applied only to the finest materials. The resulting
objects-simple yet elegant, often enhanced by beautiful and
symbolic decoration-were considered revolutionary in their time and
continue to enchant audiences today. The first substantial
monograph to be published in 20 years, this comprehensive book
focuses on Voysey as a designer of furniture, metalwork and
textiles, providing a new analysis of his characteristic motifs and
designs. It draws on the greatest public and private collections of
his work to give a complete and fully illustrated account of
Voysey's output and his vision for domestic life at the turn of the
twentieth century. Original drawings and plans, archive photography
and images of a vast selection of surviving objects are brought
together here in a fresh examination of the Arts and Crafts
pioneer. The authors' extensive new research documents the personal
and professional relationships that enabled Voysey to become a
great and prolific designer. The book draws together new
information on how he ran his business; how he promoted, exhibited
and sold his work; who his clients were; who was responsible for
manufacturing his designs; and what a Voysey house and interior
looked like.
