A collection of market-fresh Cotswold furniture has been consigned to Bellmans’ February 14 sale in Winchester.
Most of the 15-lot group were made in 1922-36 by Peter Waals (1870-1937) in the tradition of Ernest Gimson, at his workshop in Chalford in Gloucestershire.
Waals trained as a cabinetmaker in his native Netherlands before joining the English furniture designers Gimson and Ernest Barnsley in 1901, staying there until Gimson’s death in 1919.
The furniture at Bellmans was made for the Leicester home of the Goddard family, who patented Goddard’s silver polish in the 19th century.
Highlights include the chequer-inlaid oak chest of drawers shown here, which is estimated at £5000-7000, an oak and macassar ebony side table at £4000-6000 and an Australian walnut tallboy estimated at £3000-5000.

It is estimated at £20,000-30,000 in Andrew Smith & Son’s February 7-8 sale in Itchen Stoke near Winchester.
