Note: Terence Harold Robsjohn-Gibbings was a British-born architect and furniture designer. In the late 1930s and 1940s he was the most important decorator in America. After opening a shop on New York's Madison Avenue in 1936, Robsjohn-Gibbings proceeded to design houses from coast to coast for such scions as tobacco heiress Doris Duke, Alfred A. Knopf, and Thelma Chrysler Foy. The design work of T.H. Robsjohn Gibbings is hallmarked as a modern mixture of the classical elements of ancient Grecian and Art Deco design. Robsjohn-Gibbings's look was widely emulated, and from 1943 to 1956 he worked as a designer for the Widdicomb Furniture Company. Estimate $700-900 Refinished. Ready to place.
