An Anglo-Japanese ebonised and carved purdonium, attributed to Edward William Godwin and probably made by William Watt, 1870s, 110cm high, 40cm wide, 38cm deep.
The square sectioned gallery top and moulded shelf supported with fine angle brackets and square section uprights that disappear into the top of the main body of the cabinet in the same way the upper shelf on a music Canterbury disappears into its top that we know was designed by Godwin (images attached). This is a highly unusual design detail which Godwin has used on many occasions particularly on his most famous design his Anglo-Japanese sideboard with an arrangement of openings and voids and hinged side flaps, you can see the same detail where the upper section has four supporting uprights to the front disappear into the base just before the front edge. When one starts to look at all of Godwins designs collectively we can see this quite unique detail he has used on many other pieces. See Weber Soros. The Secular Furniture of E W Godwin.
The lower section of this perdonium with a moulded top above a hinged cupboard, a fretted brass pull that has an engraved floret to the central lozenge, the central panel with carving and oriental fretwork with embossed Anglo-Japanese style leather or paper behind, the whole on tapered legs united by Anglo-Japanese stretchers on gilt metal and porcelain castors.

Edward William Godwin (attributed), an Anglo-Japanese ebonised elbow chair, with a curved lattice back, a caned seat and turned supports with stretchers, 88cm high. Known as the Jacobean or Old English chair, probably made by William Watt. See Soros, Susan Weber 'The Secular Furniture of E.W. Godwin', p. 90, fig. 109 for a similar example. This model is a light variant of the armchair in keeping with Godwin's strict design philosophy in such that he would make furniture as light as possible and as strong as possible so that a maid can move pieces to clean and he likened to cane seats which were more hygienic. He was one of the very first to incorporate an element of hygiene into furniture design.

Edward William Godwin (attributed), possibly for Liberty and Co., a mahogany oblong table, with splay ring-turned supports, 75cm high, 80cm wide, 55cm deep. Godwin worked in the dress department at Liberty's and there have been two tea/coffee tables identical to the William Watt ones which have appeared on the market with Liberty and Co. labels. It is thought that Godwin may have designed some pieces and certainly influenced furniture design at Liberty's in the late Victorian period. See Sotheby's with Paul Reeves 'The Best of British Design from the 19th and 20th Centuries: The Selling Exhibition' PR 32 for a washstand with similar leg treatment.
