The little attention they have received tends to view them from the point of view of the new studio pottery of Bernard Leach and William Staite Murray, but the author argues that they should be recognized as descendants of the porcelain modeling of the eighteenth-century and nineteenth-century Staffordshire figures and evaluated in those terms. The paper describes the practice of the Chelsea Potters and explores their origins and training, methods and materials, subject matter and sources, the way their work was exhibited and received, and their markets and the wider artistic context in which they worked.","PeriodicalId":53917,"journal":{"name":"West 86th-A Journal of Decorative Arts Design History and Material Culture","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135532954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Can viewing objects through their collector, rather than their user or even their maker, offer a worthwhile lens through which to understand a design culture? This article addresses those questions by unpacking the remarkable collection of 1920s French decorative arts folios from the shelves of the office library of architect Albert Kahn (1869–1942). Overwhelmingly remembered for his practice in industrial architecture, I ask why we might find these folios of French articles de luxe in the collection of a factory architect from Detroit. While it may be tempting to see Kahn’s project of bureaucratic or factory architecture in stark contrast to the contemporaneous burst of moderne luxury home goods across the Atlantic, this study prompts a reconsideration of how the form and purpose of these prints might have been implicated in, and resonated with, a culture of design and production in the Motor City.","PeriodicalId":53917,"journal":{"name":"West 86th-A Journal of Decorative Arts Design History and Material Culture","volume":"29 1","pages":"232 - 255"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44673981","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
