From Publisher:

Archibald Knox, born on the Isle of Man, was one of the most influential designers in modern British history. His blending of Celtic and modernist design defined British Art Nouveau and helped Liberty's of London, the famous British design emporium of the late 19th and early 20th century, become the premier design establishment in Britain. This comprehensive source book, lavishly illustrated throughout, explores the richness and diversity of Knox's design work in gold, silver, pewter, textiles, wallpaper and stonework, most of which were created for Liberty's. This book demonstrates that this gentle, retiring man was also a designer of great importance who could blend the ancient design principles of the Celts with a modernist's eye toward simplicity and abstraction. His designs are of startling beauty appealing to Victorian and Edwardian design connoisseurs as well as those followers of the more abstract and stylized designs of the modern movement. Contributors: Adrian J. Tilbrook, Victor Arwas, Mark Turner, and Anthony Jones.
