Pre-Raphaelite to Arts and Crafts Jewellery, Antique Collectors Club 1996, p. 40, pl. 15Note: James Cromar Watt was born in Aberdeen. He worked in precious metals and developed particular skills in the ancient techniques of gold granulation and translucent foiled enamelling. His work was exhibited in Turin in 1902 and was illustrated in the Art Journal periodical of the time. Some of his pieces were strongly influenced by the enamel work of Phoebe Traquair and some were designed in association with the painter and stained glass artist, Douglas Strachan.

EDGAR WOOD (1860-1935) ARTS & CRAFTS ARMOIRE, CIRCA 1896-8 oak, with copper fittings 153cm wide, 226cm high excluding finials, 66cm deep Note: Born in Middleton, near Manchester in 1860, the architect, artist and draftsman Edgar Wood was a prominent member of the Arts & Crafts Movement. He gained a national and international reputation, and his work was widely published in publications such as The British Architect, The Studio Magazine, Dekorative Kunst and Moderne Bauformen. Wood rejected large-scale commercial practice and worked with a small number of assistants designing furniture, stained glass, sculpture, metal, and plasterwork as well as buildings. Many commissions were from friends and family in Middleton, Huddersfield and Hale, Cheshire. Influenced by the artistic and socialist writings of William Morris, he saw himself as an artisan serving the people of these localities. He was a founder of the Northern Art Workers' Guild, set up by Walter Crane in 1896, one of the major provincial societies within the Arts and Crafts Movement and was president of the Manchester Society of Architects from 1911–12.
GEORGE WALTON (1867-1933) WALL PANEL, CIRCA 1890 repoussé-decorated copper, pewter, coloured glass, bears painted maker's mark lower right GEORGE WALTON & CO., LTD/ DECORATORS, GLASS STAINERS/ AND CABINETMAKERS/ GLASGOW, later frame 53cm x 45.4cm (frame size 64.5cm x 56.5cm) Literature: Moon K. George Walton: Designer and Architect, White Cockade 1993Glasgow Museums - Collections Navigator, collections.glasgowmuseums.com, 2016 ‘Miss Cranston’, Glasgowlife.org.uk, 2016 Note: This rare wall panel by George Walton (1867-1933) is characteristic of his work as a designer and decorator in the context of Glasgow's artistic avant-garde during the late 19th century. Walton was a pioneering influence on the distinctive 'Glasgow Style', experimenting with mixed media wall panels and stained glass, such as this example of a glass mosaic overlaid with copper and pewter. Similar examples can be seen in his work for Miss Cranston's tearooms at Argyle Street, for which he was commissioned, together with Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868-1928), to redesign the interior in 1888. Walton's panels combined coloured glass with bright beaten copper, creating light and reflective three-dimensional surfaces. Walton chose coloured glass for its distinct material characteristics which did not need to be overpainted.Following this, George Walton & Co, Ecclesiastical and House Decorators, expanded to include the design and production of woodwork, furniture and stained glass. Walton, influenced by William Morris (1934-1896) and James Whistler (1834-1903), went on to work in almost every area of the decorative arts including; stencilling, fabrics, fireplaces, carpets, glassware and graphics to name a few, before finishing his diverse and innovative career as an architect.
