Room 3
In many rooms on the second floor there are different elements of the collection in dialogue: art objects of various nature and origins, Arts & Crafts furniture, contemporary artworks and the new ceilings by David Tremlett.
Charles Voysey
The fireplace (1899) and chairs (1902) by Charles Voysey display an almost pared down Puritanism. The first was designed by the architect for his home in Chorleywood, named The Orchard and is historically important because of the formal definition of each detail.
Koloman Moser
Above the fireplace the painting is of a smiling female is by Koloman Moser, from the early 20th century.
Christopher Dresser
Many designers of the late nineteenth century took their inspiration from Japanese visual idioms. Christopher Dresser was the only British designer to have actually travelled to Japan in 1877 , his experimental genius is reflected in the objects in the second cabinet and in the vase on the table in the center of the room.
