Summary
[edit]DescriptionDerry and Toms Kensington London iron grilles. Photo 2 by Phillip Medhurst 1992.jpg |
English: Cast-iron grilles and bronze panels. Nos. 101-111 High St., Kensington, London (originally Derry and Toms department store). Built 1929-31. Work by Walter Gilbert 1931. Most, if not all, of this work is still extant, and consists of decorative iron grilles and bronze fascia-panels. THE IRON-WORK: 38 grilles of varying sizes. The largest are 12ft by 6ft. These are ranged in apertures along the fifth (top) floor on the exterior of the building, and in three "pavilions" ranging from the first to the top floor. Nine of the top-floor grilles are on the High-Street frontage (facing north), together with two of the pavilions. There are also ten top-floor grilles on the Derry-Street frontage (facing west), although, apart from those at either end of the row - which are repeated designs - these have a simpler, more decorative motif. One of these simpler grilles is also on the corner of the south side of the building, and a repeat of one of the more complex designs is on the corner of the east side of the building where the top floor is clear of the adjacent frontages. The grilles on the pavilions are also decorative rather than symbolic, featuring swallows and bats. Other elements consist of owls and squirrels. The scheme for the three pavilions features in each case a long vertical grille. The principal, and most complex elements in the scheme are the nine figurative grilles in art deco style on the High Street frontage (two of which are repeated on other frontages). Modelled by Walter Gilbert in association with Donald Gilbert and cast in the foundry of H. H. Martyn of Cheltenham. Photo by Phillip Medhurst. Metalwork 1931.
