Leonard Wyburd (Uk 1865-1958)

Liberty & Co ‘Thebes stool‘. Designed by Leonard Wyburd. Mahogany 44 x 40 x 34cm high.

(Evidence of a previous Liberty & Co label to underside).


Manufactured circa 1880s whilst Wyburd was head of the furniture and decoration studio at Liberty’s of London.
As the stool’s name implies, the design of this tripod stool was modelled on ancient Egyptian typologies. The design was the basis of similar stools presented later by both Josef Frank and Adolf Loos (as seen at the Möbelmuseum Wien).

Price: 2.200 euro

Amsterdam School / arts & crafts console

Various items including (1) an Amsterdam School console/hall table with two drawers – The symmetrical form of the console narrows towards the front and has four amazing hand-crafted scallop shaped handles. The front of the two drawers has an elegant double wave sculptural form.

Inside, the top drawer has a green baize lining (once used for cutlery). This console seems to date from between the early to mid-c20th and is beautifully constructed from solid oak. We decided to leave it with its original patina (the top has a few light marks but otherwise it is in good solid condition). 100 x 46.5 x 89cm high.

(2) A monumental Dutch Amsterdam School floor lamp made from mahogany with double fitted lamps and an uplighter lamp. 186cm high and 71cm wide.

(3) A large alabaster abstract form sculpture circa 1970s attached to a pine plinth. 18.5 x 18.5 x 60cm high

All available: Console SOLD / Lamp 1.400 euro / Sculpture SOLD
