- 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023In Britain, John Wilkinson made the first mass-produced iron chairs during the 1770s. However, handcrafted iron chairs appeared much earlier. In the mid-thirteenth century, King Edward I commissioned three iron chairs for St. Paul’s Cathedral. The artisan who made these pieces is unknown. On 1stDibs, find a range of iron chairs.
- 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 10, 2025Moore is considered Britain's greatest sculptor due to the impact his art had on his contemporaries and successors and because of the fame and success he enjoyed during his life. Henry Moore’s forms are usually abstractions with pierced or hollow spaces responding to the human figure, typically depicting mother-and-child or reclining figures. Many interpreters liken the undulating forms of his reclining figures to the landscape and hills of his Yorkshire birthplace. Moore became well known through his carved marble and larger-scale abstract cast bronze sculptures and was instrumental in introducing a particular form of modernism to the United Kingdom. Most of the money he earned went toward endowing the Henry Moore Foundation, which continues supporting education and promoting the arts. Shop a diverse assortment of Henry Moore art on 1stDibs.
