  • 1080-1882 & 1081-1882 PAIR OF BOOKCASES ENGLISH; 1867 Designed by Charles Foster Hayward (1831-1905) Maker unknown, roundels painted by Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-1882) Oak, ormolu mounts and painted slate tops. Hayward was an architect who designed three Gothic Revival bookcases to house the library, particularly the early editions of Shakespeare, of John Jones, the donor of the V&A's collection of French applied art. At least one of them was shown at the Paris International Exhibition of 1867. The naturalistic carving of ferns to the upper section of the bookcases is an example of John Ruskin's principle - rarely applied to furniture - that only ornament derived from natural sources could be truly beautiful.
