Manchester-based architect, designer and draftsman Edgar Wood (1860-1935) was a significant figure in the regional Arts & Crafts movement. While his furniture and jewellery designs occasionally appear at auction, a small oil painting on board of Mediterranean olive trees was offered at Capes Dunn of Stockport on July 23. Signed and dated 1920, it surpassed a £300-400 estimate.
