Thomas Henry Kendall: a group of carved wood architectural features from the Chapel Street showroomIncluding three carved oak panels of lozenge form, each carved with wild flowers and foliage, originally forming part of a staircase, 51x22cm, set into a later softwood mount, 201x35cm, a series of further rectangular carved oak door panels by Kendall similarly carved with wild flowers, all unmounted: seven at 25x18cm; five at 35x18cm and six at 43x18cm, five carved oak panels in the Elizabethan style, possibly by other hands, 39x29cm, six carved spandrels containing flora and fauna, 33x36cm, three carved stained beech balusters, 67cm, and a length of balustrade, 132cm long. Provenance: Acquired in 1957 at the dispersal sale of Thomas Henry Kendall's Chapel Street showroom and studio, thence by descent to the vendor. Footnote: In a feature written for the Connoissuer magazine on Thomas Henry Kendall in 1956, a year before the Chapel Street showroom was dismantled, a staircase is illustrated showing the balustrade as well as a door showing some of the panels in the present lot.
