About the Item

Early Rowley Gallery rare framed triptych with central mirror and 2 inlay wood side panels Depicting dancers The reverse panels have inlay wood motifs The stylised combing of the gilt gesso frame is synonymous with the Rowley Gallery Design attributed to William Arthur Chase and Albert James Rowley Original early Rowley Gallery stamp to the back CIrca 1915 Height 40cm Central mirror Width 50cm Side panels Width 25 cm each The Rowley Gallery was founded in 1898 by Albert James Rowley (1875-1944) and his wife Emma Hamm as a small business specialising in picture framing. Their first premises were at Silver Street, Kensington and the Gallery undertook framing work for local artists, national galleries and museums. During the Great War Albert expanded his business to include decorative inlay panels, screens and mirror designs. Rowley employed various artists to design for him, his most famous: Sir Frank Brangwyn and his most prolific: William Chase. The numerous designs by these artists and others, reflect the diversity and skill of the craftsmen. There is evidence that panel designs were retailed by Liberty & Co and they were associated with Heals. It is unknown how many panel and mirror designs were made, but catalogues reveal that these would probably have been in the hundreds. Several exhibitions ensued around the 1920s and by the 1930s the Gallery had moved into furniture production, where they were renowned for their silver-leaf furniture and interior schemes. They exhibited internationally and their reputation was highly acclaimed. With expansion the business premises moved to Kensington Church Street and these were rebuilt in 1933 with a startling ‘Art Deco Modernist’ facade. Three enormous panels designed by Sir Frank Brangwyn were installed above the new shop, which were later destroyed by fire. By 1934 Rowley is known to have employed at least 6 cabinet makers, 3 French polishers 5 paint shop workers and 5 seamstresses.
