PHILIP WEBB (1831-1915) FOR MORRIS & CO.'SUNFLOWER' TABLE; CIRCA 1880Mahogany; scalloped edged circular top raised on slightly curved legs with leaf carving and linked by stretchers centred with a carved sunflowerStamped to underside 'MORRIS & CO./ OXFORD ST /1861'68cm high, 76cm diameterProvenance:Mr. & Mrs. Curling Hunter, 9, Westbourne Terrace, London, and thence by descent Literature:John Andrews, Arts and Crafts Furniture, Antiques Collectors Club, 2005, pl. 52Jeremy Cooper, Victorian and Edwardian Furniture and Interiors, Thames and Hudson, 1987, pl. 450 In Cooper's publication the table design can be seen in the foreground of a period illustration of the drawing room of Standen House, which was furnished by Webb for the Beale family, in 1894.Philip Webb's 'Sunflower table' is a quintessential example of Arts and Crafts furniture that deeply reflects the design principles and craftsmanship championed by Morris & Co. during the late 19th century. Webb, one of the founding figures of the Arts and Crafts movement was a close collaborator of William Morris.Emerging in the mid-19th century, the movement was a response to the rapid development of industrialisation that prioritised mechanisation over craftsmanship. It wanted to reunite art with labour, celebrating the skill of the artisan and the integrity of natural materials. Morris & Co., established in 1861, became a cornerstone of this movement, producing everything from furniture and textiles to wallpaper and stained glass, all reflecting the company's commitment to a revived aesthetic and social responsibility.Webb's role in the company was pivotal. While Morris provided the ideological foundation for the firm, Webb was often the architect of the movement's design ethos, translating its principles into physical forms. Known for his sensitivity to both materials and function, Webb's designs are characterised by simplicity, an appreciation for traditional craftsmanship, and motifs drawn from nature. This table's subtle botanical influences are a fitting illustration of his approach.The sunflower motif at the centre of the table is a typical Arts and Crafts emblem which embodies the movement's fascination with organic forms. The use of rich mahogany and the scalloped edged circular top exemplify the movement's rejection of Victorian opulence in favour of a more honest, nature-inspired aesthetic.Webb's most profound legacy is most famously represented by the Red House in Bexleyheath, designed in 1859 by Morris. The house became a model for the Arts and Crafts movement, with its attention to craftsmanship and design serving as a living manifesto for the values Webb and Morris espoused. While smaller in scale, the 'Sunflower' table is imbued with the same design philosophies of form, function and artisanship, making it a significant artefact of both Webb's career and the broader Arts and Crafts movement.

Nineteenth Century Design: From Pugin to Mackintosh, Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 1993, p.78, pl.76Morris & Company Catalogue, circa 1914, p. 27, no. 519 where a line drawing of this table design is illustrated.Note: This scarce table designed by Philip Webb for Morris & Co. is based on an original design by Webb for Red House in Bexleyheath which he also designed for his friend William Morris in 1859. Two tables were made for the hall, described later by May Morris as ‘the first one’. Early examples of the table, including one made for the Burne-Joneses at the time of their marriage in 1860, were made by major Gillum's Boy's Club in the Euston Road. Morris approved of the solid joinery construction, disliking furniture that was 'so very light as to be nearly imponderable; it should be made of timber rather than walking sticks. The original design was adapted by Webb for sale at Morris & Co. and proved to be an enduring model for the firm, still appearing as a design in their catalogue as late as 1914.

In a letter to the executors of Laurence Hodson in the family papers the then director of the V&A, Eric Maclagan, enquires as to the possibilty of loaning the drawings for the 1934 exhibition. He further notes 'Perhaps I might also add that the Webb drawings are of particular interest to us here as we acquired the tapestry itself for our collection not many years ago. If therefore any question of their ultimate sale arises, I hope we may be given the opportunity of considering their purchase, although our means are at present exceedingly restricted owing to the cutting off of our purchase grant (plus ça change!)'.
