More about this artwork

Presenting the intricate and timeless elegance of Edwin Foley's "Carved Chippendale Library Bookcase," crafted between 1910 and 1911. This piece exemplifies the sophistication and detailed craftsmanship characteristic of the Chippendale style, which continues to be celebrated for its distinctive and ornamental features.The painting captures a grand bookcase, robust and poised, constructed with a rich, dark wood that speaks to its dignified presence. The bookcase stands tall, featuring an elegantly arched top and a cornice that is subtly adorned with classical motifs, suggesting a discreet yet luxurious approach to design. The sides of the top segment display glass doors with geometric, hexagonal panes that hint at both privacy and accessibility, qualities much valued in a library setting.Below the glass doors, the bottom cabinets mirror the robustness of the top, offering solid panels which likely hide volumes of treasured books or valuable collectibles. The entire structure stands on a sturdy base with short, carved legs, ensuring stability and a grounded appearance.This painting not only reflects a piece of furniture but also illustrates how artistry can fuse with functionality to create timeless home décor.

Author and illustrator of The Book of Decorative Furniture, published in 2 volumes by T. C. & E. C. Jack in 1910-11, which featured one hundred reproductions in full colour and one thousand text illustrations. The book went through a number of editions.

Almost nothing has been published about Foley other than that he was a Fellow of the institute of designers.

He was born Edwin John Foley in Fisherton Anger, Wiltshire, c.1859, the second child and eldest son of furniture manufacturer Arthur Foley of the Fisherton Cabinet Works, Salisbury, and his wife Jane. He was at least partly educated in London,  where he lived with his uncle and aunt, Peter and Rhoda Marie Brown.

He worked as a designer for his father from at least the early 1880s, but by 1891 was living in Charlotte Street, Marylebone, with his wife Louisa Maud (nee Hayford), whom he married in 1882. They had three children, Conrad Hayford (b. 1885), Hubert Edwin (b. 1887) and Alan Victor (b. 1888).

Edwin John Foley lived at 294 Camden Road, Middlesex, and died at Cottesloe, Western Australia, on 25 April 1912.
