Primary provenanced Arts & Crafts furniture comes up for sale at Mallams in Oxford on May 25.
The 14 pieces are from the family of Arthur Mitchell, whose father Henry founded the Smethwick brewery that would become Mitchells & Butlers. His Cheltenham home, Glenfall House, was remodelled by Norman Jewson and Sidney Barnsley (1865-1926) in the 1920s.
Following Mitchell’s death in 1965, much of the contents of Glenfall was sold by public auction.
