GEORGE HENRY WALTON (1867-1933)
LOTS 153 TO 157
Closely associated with the arts and crafts movement, George Walton spent the first ten years of his career in Glasgow. In 1888, after little formal training, he established retail premises and a workshop for his own business 'George Walton & Co., Ecclesiastical and House Decorators'.
Design commissions from this period included clutha glass for James Couper & Son, stained glass panels for William Burrell, furniture and interiors for Liberty & Co. and the refurbishment of Miss Cranston's Argyll and Buchanan Street Tearooms.
In 1898 Walton moved to London and concurrently set up business in York. He received a major commission to redesign a series of interiors for Kodak in Glasgow, Brussels, Vienna, Milan, Moscow, Leningrad and London, and later widened his range of activities, by turning his hand to architecture, designing and building houses in Wales, London, France and Oxfordshire.
