A rare Liberty & Co attributed Moorish style walnut overmantel probably designed by Leonard Wyburd (1865 – 1958). Wyburd was the head of Liberty’s Furnishing and Decoration Studio from its foundation in 1883 until he left in 1903 to establish his own studio in Wigmore Street, London.
Similar “Moresque” style overmantels are featured on page 67 of Liberty’s Handbook of Sketches (1889).
