AGNES POOL
Agnes Pool was a student of the Birmingham School of Art between approximately 1902 and 1904. She specialized in enamels in the Arts and Crafts style, and designed and created jewellery, figural panels, decorative objects, and objects as diverse as belt buckles, lace pins and spoons. Her work was exhibited at the Royal Academy, Leeds City Art Gallery and Royal Birmingham Society of Artists, as well as winning medals and prizes in the National Competition run by the Board of Education, South Kensington in 1902 and 1904. The necklace offered as lot 382 was illustrated in Arts & Crafts magazine (Vol. II of A&C magazine, 1905.) after being exhibited in Leeds, while the panel depicting Merlin and Vivian, lot 385, won a silver medal with two other pieces (purchased by the V & A) in 1904, receiving a special mention in the judges' notes, and appears to have been exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1905.
