Collinson and G.J. Lock. It enjoyed immediate success and quickly began experimenting with new materials and designs, gaining particular renown for its combinations of rosewood and ivory, as well as for its Italianate arabesques. This decorative style clearly reflects the influence of Stephen Webb, the principal designer at Collinson & Lock. Notably, the firm exhibited a cabinet at the Great Exhibition in London in 1871, which was immediately acquired by the Victoria and Albert Museum. Other examples were exhibited in Vienna and in America, as well as at the 1878 Paris World’s Fair, including several Anglo-Japanese pieces For a piece similar to the one we are offering, see an example that appeared at Christie’s, London, in the sale “British and Continental Decorative Arts from 1850 to the Present Day,” May 2, 1996, lot 33.”
