Attributed to William Birch & Son, High Wycombe, whose workshops supplied Liberty & Co. and produced furniture in the manner of C.F.A. Voysey. The pure geometry, structural clarity, and restrained ornament of this model embody the ideals of the Arts and Crafts movement at the turn of the 20th century.
