关于作品

This design was shown at the Royal Academy in 1902 and demonstrates Jack's debt to Philip Webb and William Morris, for whom he designed furniture. A scheme for a new addition to Wickham Flower's country home in Surrey, the design shows an early Edwardian combination of Arts and Crafts forms and th emore affected, elongated elegant style of Art Nouveau.

In an attempt to recreate the medieval Great Hall, Jack designed a large lofty space which would traditionally have been multi-functional. With a large fireplace as a focus, it is furnished with dark wood panelling and a simple oak dining table and cupboard, but with the latest in upholstered cosy-corner seating, which can be seen on the right. The medieval, baronial look given by the leaded stained-glass windows, complete with chivalric coats of arms, and a large hanging wall tapestry is contrasted with the fashionable use of Eastern-influenced tiles decorating the fireplace.
