A Flight of Enid Marx’s Chaise Longue-Covered Collector’s Drawers

£260.00

A flight of slim collector’s drawers, constructed from 6 mm board. Both the exterior and the interior drawers are hand covered in Enid Marx’s Chaise Longue patterned paper. Each drawer has a brass card-holder and drawer pull. The overall dimensions are 360 mm wide, 250 mm deep and 195 mm tall.

This pattern is a reconstruction and reproduction of a hand-block printed textile by Enid Marx, which covers a chaise longue in the permanent collection at Compton Verney. Enid Marx was a pattern designer and illustrator whose career spanned much of the twentieth century: a contemporary and friend of Bawden, Ravilious and Angus, and an apprentice of textile printers Barron and Larcher in the 1920s. This paper was created on the occasion of the exhibition ‘The Pattern of Life: Enid Marx and Modern British Design’ at Compton Verney in 2026. In reproducing the pattern we tried to preserve the rhythm and spontaneity of the infinitely various interconnected lozenges created by Marx’s free printing style. Marx called this design ‘Fairy and Stipple’.
