Duncan Grant and Vanessa Bell were involved as co-directors of the Workshops and artists such as Wyndham Lewis, Edward Wadsworth, Nina Hamnett and the sculptor, Henri Gaudier-Brzeska also produced designs. Some pieces were made by the artists themselves. However, the designs were often given over to specialist craftsmen such as John Joseph Kallenborn, who was responsible for much of the marquetry work for the Omega Workshop. \r\n\r\nThe table was made for George M. Booth and probably designed by Roger Fry and painted by Duncan Grant.","physicalDescription":"Painted wood. Oblong with curved ends supported on slightly tapered legs united by square end stretchers and one flat central stretcher. The top is painted in oils with the lily-pond design consisting of a variety of abstract forms in polychrome on a black ground, the panel being outlined by a red border within an outer border of dive green. The framework is painted olive green and the legs have chamfers at the angles painted dull red.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Fry, Roger Eliot","id":"A1427"},"association":{"text":"designer","id":"x36960"},"note":"probably"},{"name":{"text":"Grant, Duncan","id":"A3128"},"association":{"text":"painters (tradespeople)","id":"AAT236851"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"Omega Workshops","id":"A7158"},"association":{"text":"made for","id":"x30791"},"note":""}],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"pine","id":"AAT12620"},{"text":"paint","id":"AAT15029"}],"techniques":[{"text":"painted","id":"x30138"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Painted pine wood","categories":[{"text":"Furniture","id":"THES48948"},{"text":"Woodwork","id":"THES48877"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"FWK","id":"THES48597"},"images":["2008BT7506","2008BT7505"],"imageResolution":"low","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"004","id":"THES411396"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Table","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"England","id":"x28826"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1913-1919","earliest":"1913-01-01","latest":"1919-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Given by George M.
