Lot Essay

Thomas Jeckyll (1827-1881) began working for Barnard, Bishop & Barnard, the Norwich based brass and iron foundry in 1859, as their leading designer. He trained as an architect, but is best known for his metalwork designs for gates, railings, garden benches, seats and fire grates and tools.

In 1876 at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia and in 1878 at the Paris Exposition Universelle Jeckyll incorporated sunflowers in pavillion railings. The design was adapted and sunflower andirons were advertised in the Barnard, Bishop and Barnard catalogues of 1878 and 1884.
