Settee, Walnut c. 1937

This watercolor drawing, "Settee, Walnut," by Geoffrey Holt, is a design for a walnut settee. The design, executed around 1937, features a curvaceous, elegant frame with a deeply padded seat and back upholstered in a dark grey fabric. The drawing, which is a detailed study of the proposed piece, captures the beauty of the Art Deco style, with its geometric curves and refined details. Holt, an accomplished artist, was known for his designs for furniture and interiors, and this piece exemplifies his proficiency in capturing the refined elegance and craftsmanship that defined his career.
