Descrizione
English oak coffer with modelled decoration in gesso designed by Ernest Gimson. From Gimson's house at Sapperton, where it was in a bedroom. The gessowork is unfinished and was presumably intended to cover the whole of the front. An article by Freda Derrick in the Country Craftsmen, 1945, suggested that the gessowork would have been painted had Gimson finished the coffer. She implied that he was working on the piece at about the time he died. The design is inspired both by the study of nature and by Gimson's research into 16th and 17th century embroidery.
