Summary
| Description |
Cast-iron grille (“owl”) at 101-111 High St., Kensington. London. Originally Derry and Toms department store. Built 1929-31. Work by conceived by Walter Gilbert and modelled by Donald Gilbert. All of this work is still extant: 38 grilles of varying sizes. The principal elements in the scheme are nine figurative grilles in art deco style on the High Street frontage. Each of these elements is a human or fantastic creature, and the scheme is clearly mythological. One of the figures is holding a star, so they could be related to constellar myths. 12 feet wide by 6 feet high. Work executed by H. H. Martyn of Cheltenham. One of the grilles before installation. https://www.scribd.com/doc/17256374/Walter-Gilbert-Main-Inventory
