I have just published new research into Voysey’s aluminium clocks. It can be found in the Research section of the website. Published in The Orchard, the Voysey Society Journal, it provides further insight into the provenance of these rare cloccks.
The Fundacian Juan March opened its new British arts and crafts exhibition on Friday evening to resounding success, queues were sighted around the block. It’s a phenomenal exhibition with exhibits from major private collectors (present company excepted – Jimmy Page being one) and strong support from the V & A and Hunterian. My paltry images capture a small flavour only. Well worth a trip if you are looking for a weekend away.
Details for the the arts and crafts exhibition to be held at the Foundacion Juan March in Madrid have been released and can be found by clicking here.
Opening on October 17th it promises to be a major exhibition on the British arts and crafts movement with over 300 exhibits by all the leading participants in the Movement including Morris, Voysey, Ashbee, Mackintosh, Baillie Scott and Gimson.

This caddy has just featured on ebay and is by Osiris with Peter Behrens workshop mark. Without doubt a copy of a Liberty piece by Knox.
