Metalwork

NOTES: The 'Architect's Devil' sculpture (left) is a self-caricature by Voysey (circa 1900); the newel of the seated man reading is said to be designed for The Pastures, north Luffenham (1890s); the box (1890s); and the ink well with the pen supported by the two hearts and the brass pen tray (both probably circa 1901-1905).

NOTES: This design, and that at RIBA98763, are found in Burges's album of designs labelled 'Orfevrerie domestique'. The decanter was one of two Burges designed for himself  this one paid for with the fees earned from the Crimea Memorial Church competition (never executed). The decanter is now in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge (M.16-1972), where it is described thus: Its glass body is encased in [silver] mounts inspired by gem-studded medieval book covers, while the animals engraved on the foot are reminiscent of the borders of Gothic manuscripts, and the cover is crowned by a Chinese rock crystal lion  the Chinese rock crystal Buddhist lion on the cover is 18th century; the coral cameos are 17th century. The ivory lion's head was based on the pommel of an 8th-7th century BC Assyrian dagger-hilt. It was made by Josiah Mendelson and George Angell.

NOTES: The Trocadero Site forms phase II of Goldfinger's designs for Elephant and Castle site II. The name refers to the 1930s Trocadero Cinema that previously occupied the site. The development consists of an office block (block D) attached to Alexander Fleming House via a link (project L), Elephant and Castle Public House with offices above (block E) and the Odeon Cinema (block F). Construction began in 1963.

NOTES: Now called Cottesmore School.
