ChairObject Type This chair is a simplified version of Godwin's designs for chairs in the Greek style which he produced from 1885. It was available in four different versions, with or without arms, either with upholstered back and seat and turned legs, like this example, or with wooden seat and back and plain legs.
Design & Designing Drawings in Godwin's sketchbook shows that this range of Greek-style furniture was inspired by his study of antiquities in the British Museum, particularly by a stool taken from the Elgin Marbles, and by a classical couch illustrated in the Dictionnaire des arts grecques, published in Paris in 1873.
Time Godwin's earliest record of Greek furniture designs is a payment for work for the trade in his ledger in 1876. By 1885 he had developed ideas for a range of furniture in the Greek style, including an elaborate armchair made of rosewood which he illustrated in the periodical Building News on 29 May. On 18 December he illustrated a group of inexpensive furniture, including this chair, in the same periodical.

This table is an early example of the 'Aesthetic style'. This was a decorative style that was fashionable from the late 1860s until the 1890s. Designers borrowed decorative elements from a wide range of sources and often amalgamated them. Their sources included Japan and Eastern Asia, The pieces that they created pieces looked very different from the heavily decorated furniture produced in preceding decades.
E. W. Godwin was one of the leading designers of the Aesthetic style. When this table was designed, about 1867-8, it was said to be in the Anglo-Japanese style. But ancient Egyptian furniture inspired the angled spindles supporting the top. A number of tables of this type survive. Some are made of plain and others of ebonised mahogany.
