B. Crace The form of this card table was influenced by the furniture designs of the Gothic Revival architect A.W.N. Pugin (1812-1852). A fervent Catholic, Pugin believed that the Age of Faith could be revived by a return to the Gothic style of the fourteenth century. He designed furniture, metalwork, stained glass, tiles, textiles and wallpapers with archaeological accuracy, insisting on the honest use of materials and undisguised construction. From 1844, Pugin designed the interiors for the new Houses of Parliament. These were executed by the firm of Crace & Son, for whom Pugin also designed ‘a sensible style of furniture of good oak.’ Some of the more ornate pieces used veneer, however, of which Pugin disapproved as being contrary to ‘true principles.’ A more elaborately decorated table of the same type as this one, made in 1867, is in The Higgins Bedford. reference term-15214 adlib-term-15214 744af2c4-a2f2-37ad-bbf4-2cd00e91ed9b Victorian reference term-107139 adlib-term-107139 9fd5ef13-3709-388f-b925-702787340e32 literal England England country England reference term-27716 adlib-term-27716 246eefd8-f18b-3c47-8338-d68140b3497e gilt reference term-38526 adlib-term-38526 f0625f70-21b1-3c97-9a0a-8e6d0718cf82 walnut reference term-40902 adlib-term-40902 ec39a220-e629-3548-92f0-14937d5d3167 leather Height cm 74.5 Length cm 91 Width cm 46 reference media-2996561393 portfolio portfolio-media-2996561393 714a8333-502d-3a62-bea8-17ef2b0328ee jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/603/841/large_M_10_1977.jpg 1 height pixels 683 width pixels 1024 1543396619000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/603/841/mid_M_10_1977.jpg 1 height pixels 333 width pixels 500 1543396619000 1 image M.10-1977.JPG 1543396619000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/603/841/preview_M_10_1977.jpg 1 height pixels 167 width pixels 250 1543396619000 1 image 0 media image reference term-107028 adlib-term-107028 36d3f956-1278-3819-8484-7517f8fdfccc table history note Nigel B.
