carved centre with flattened flange sixteen sided rim, with chamfered edge and lineal decoration, on a ebonised circular plinth base, stamped Alan Peters, bearing sticker for Aller Studios Kentisbeare Devon, 46cm x 9cm. Alan Peters was recognised for his services to furniture making in 1990. He was considered a direct link back to the Arts and Crafts tradition, having been apprenticed to Edward Barnsley. In the 1970's he was one of the leading proponents of the revival of British craftsmanship. His work is highly restrained and conveys a deep reverence for the materials used, having been shown in many group and solo exhibitions and his publication Cabinetmaking - a professional approach was re-published in the year of his death.
