More about this artwork

Welcome to a captivating exploration of Edwin Foley's artistic rendering titled "Shaped fret-rimmed gallery table (1910 - 1911)". This exquisite painting captures a beautifully detailed gallery table, an essential piece of period furniture that reflects both elegance and intricate craftsmanship.In Foley's work, the table takes center stage, depicted with a masterful understanding of light and shadow, which highlights its opulent, textured fretwork and rich wooden tones. The table’s rounded surface is adorned with traditional fretwork along the rim, lending it an air of intricate delicacy. Resting atop are three pieces of blue and white porcelain—a tall vase and two bowls—which complement the ornately carved wooden tripod base featuring clawed feet, adding a dynamic contrast to the painting.The setting of the painting exudes a quietly luxurious atmosphere. The background features a room with muted walls adorned with lavish, golden-framed artworks and elegant furniture that hints at an environment of refined taste. The play of light across the room further accentuates the depth of the space, making the table not just a functional object but a centerpiece of artistic and cultural value.This artwork not only showcases Foley's technical prowess but also serves as a window into the decorative styles prevalent during the early 20th century.

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.
