Lavishly illustrated book showing work done by Bawden for Fortnum and Mason between 1932 and 1939 and also 1955 and 1959

Fortnum & Mason and Edward Bawden were an unlikely double act: one a firm devoted to luxury provisions and lavish entertaining, the other a shy, retiring artist, who once proposed to offer charcoal biscuits and water to guests at a ‘gloom party’. Yet the relationship inspired Bawden to produce some of his finest work, and today his vivid, fanciful illustrations are widely appreciated. This book presents the advertising material illustrated by the artist for Fortnum & Mason on either side of World War II. Showcasing Christmas catalogues, menu cards, promotional brochures and other ephemera, this luxurious volume is the ideal souvenir of Fortnum’s recent 300th anniversary and a memento of Edward Bawden’s work.

If the world’s favourite English emporium is famous for promoting a love of good things, Edward Bawden is the one artist who best captured that spirit. The introductory essay is by Peyton Skipwith, Edward Bawden’s literary executor and a former director of the Fine Art Society.

Very nice valet tray that gives a dresser or nightstand a much nicer look, and keeps EDC organized.
We’ve been using this sandalwood valet tray (with black "leather" inserts) for about five days, and it has quickly become a favorite for keeping the dresser top organized. It sits neatly on our tallboy dresser, staying put without any sliding, which is a big plus. The tray’s size is just right. This tray is not too bulky, but spacious enough to hold keys, watch, phone, etc., basically all the stuff carried in pockets daily. The wood has a smooth, polished feel, and the stain has a beautiful color which gives it a rich, elegant look that elevates the whole setup. What stands out most are the soft, leather-like inserts lining the compartments. They add a touch of luxury and keep items like my watch from getting scratched or sliding around with a slight bump. I also appreciate the thoughtful design of the notches cut out for phone charging cables. Having those notches makes it easy to keep a phone powered up without a mess of cords. This valet tray feels well-crafted and sturdy, though I would not mind it if the compartments were a tad deeper for bulkier items like a wallet. It’s practical and looks far more refined than the plastic trays I’ve used before, and I feel it gives an excellent value for the money, given today's pricing (July 20, 2025). For anyone looking to tidy up their space with something that feels upscale yet functional, this tray is worth a look.

5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ STARS! Great valet tray for keys and wallets
This valet tray is very classy and made a beautiful wood with nice little touches all around in terms of design. I really like this on my side table in our foyer, and we place our keys, wallets and odd knickknacks that we bring in from time to time. This makes it very easy so not forget or replace things if we have a designated area like this valet pad. This gets my "TRIED-and-TRUE" SOLID 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ STARS Rating! I only give five star ratings to items that I use and exceed my expectations for quality, functionality, ease-of-use, premium appearance/looks, durability, & when possible: Sustainability/Ease on the Environment. I hope my review helped you gain some insight and I appreciate you taking the time to read it. Thank you!
