Maurice Adams saw himself as the natural successor to the great furniture makers of the eighteenth century and had ambitious plans for 20th-century British interior design. All Adams's furniture was made by hand in Gloucester and displayed in Adams's showroom in Portman Square, London. The desk features on page 94 of ‘Modern Decorative Art’ by Maurice Adams, first published in 1930.
The Grosvenor range was distinguished by its highly finished veneers. This emphasis on glossy veneers is characteristic of much of Adams's work. The designer praised the marble-like effect of veneers and their ability to exploit the 'natural beauty' of figured woods. The curvaceous shape of this desk show the veneers to maximum effect.
The V&A have a cabinet from the Maurice Adam’s Grosvenor range in their collection.
