Bringing together over 200 years of iconic craftsmanship and design. The Winsor & Newton Box Collection is a celebration of art in all forms.
The box and paints have been rarely used over the last 8 years. The box itself is in excellent condition.
Linley, founded by David Linley in 1985 as a bespoke furniture company, were drawn to the history of Windsor & Newton and began the design process by scouring the company's incredible 184-year-old archive for inspiration. Founded in 1832, Winsor & Newton have a rich history of creating art boxes and over the years, having supplied famous artists such as JMW Turner and countless members of the British royal family, receiving its first Royal Warrant from Queen Victoria in 1841. These art boxes provided the inspiration for the star piece of the collection, the Watercolour Compendium.
Linley's connection to watercolour stems from the original practice of commemorating private design commissions with a framed watercolour presentation of the piece, now replaced by modern day computer aided design. The designers wanted to link with this Linley tradition to this collection, drawn to watercolours and Winsor & Newton's famous watercolour supplies for the star piece in the collection.
The exterior of the compendium is created in a ripple sycamore veneer which is bleached to evoke the colour of a primed canvas, with a marquetry colour wheel using 12 different hand tinted birch, tay and bolivar veneers inlaid onto the lid and finished with an engravable sterling silver plaque. Inspired by the wing of the iconic Winsor & Newton griffin, the compendium has a curved radius edge and a gently sloping angle.
Inside, the smart walnut interior has been meticulously designed to contain all the materials needed to create a watercolour study, from the underside of the lid an easel extends out, standing on the box and providing a space to work at in the studio as well as to display the finished artwork.
For the art sets, the Linley designers also looked to the Winsor & Newton archive, where they discovered catalogues from the turn of the century containing beautiful illustrations of art materials. The sets are created in walnut with a bleached figured anigre lid screen printed with a design inspired by the illustrations. Each of the undersides is finished with a different coloured veneer - indigo, antique rose, ochre and grape.
Ben Hovanessian, Global Brand Director, Winsor & Newton says: "Winsor & Newton's collaboration with Linley has developed out of a passion, shared by two quintessentially British brands, for traditional craftsmanship and the highest quality materials with a mutual commitment to pushing the boundaries of the creative process. These skillfully designed and beautifully realised art sets, which combine artisanal production processes with the latest technological advances, are a fitting celebration of Winsor & Newton's heritage and values."
David Linley, Founder, Linley says: "It is a great honour to be working alongside such an esteemed British brand as Winsor & Newton. Our two brands share a commitment to superlative craftsmanship and design. I believe that the culmination of our efforts has resulted in products that are utterly unique and reflective of the passion that both brands share for pushing boundaries of engineering and excellence."
