Maurice Adams saw himself as the natural successor to the great furniture makers of the eighteenth century and had ambitious plans for 20th-century British interior design. All Adams’s furniture was made by hand in Gloucester and displayed in Adams’s showroom in Portman Square, London.
This corner display cabinet, designed for the sitting room, was part of Adams’s ‘Grosvenor’ range and could be made to fit any specification. The lower section was fitted with a cupboard which Adams suggested might store books or music.
The Grosvenor range was distinguished by its highly finished veneers. This emphasis on glossy veneers is characteristic of much of Adams’s work. The designer praised the marble-like effect of veneers and their ability to exploit the ‘natural beauty’ of figured woods. The curvaceous shape of this cabinet display the veneers to maximum effect.
The V&A have a cabinet from the Maurice Adam’s Grosvenor range in their collection.
