Title: E. Gomme: Bedroom Setting
Date: c. 1932
Decade: 1930-1939
Manufacturer: E Gomme Ltd.
Description: Original watercolour, one of nine in a folio of original artwork depicting interior scenes and showing E. Gomme café and hotel furniture models. Models shown are for ' Bedroom Setting' - Dressing Chest (B538), Wardrobe (B544), Bedstead (D type), Cupboard (B552), Tub Chair (426).
Notes: This picture is initialed in pencil 'E.G.H.W.'. Although many others in the folio bear the intials 'E.G.H.W.' either in pencil or ink, it is thought the intials refer to E. Gomme. High Wycombe, rather than the artist.
Some of the images were used for advertising catalogues and can be seen in E. Gomme's 'Café & Hotel Furniture' catalogue, c. 1932. ref: GC01. (This catalogue is in the same style as the 'Silent Salesman', but is not marked as such, probably predating the concept.) HWeFA holds images of Cupboard (B552). ref: GC02_21, Tub Chair (426). ref: GC02_23.
