Key items
The Owl Cabinet, 1904. Considered by many to be the best piece of furniture Ambrose Heal designed, the fumed chestnut cabinet 372 (often referred to as the Owl cabinet) sits on a simple plinth. The mastery is in the detail - drawer pulls are compressed heart shapes and inset wooden turnbuckle latches lock the doors ? with such understated embellishment working well with Heal's material of choice: unpolished wood.
