Archibald Knox (1864-1933)

Archibald Knox was a well known Manx designer made famous by his Liberty designs. He was of Scottish descent and many items had influences of Celt. His designs for Liberty's made him a household name, as did his watercolours, graphic designs and fonts. His design talent covered a wide range of objects, ornamental and utilitarian, and included silver and pewter tea sets, jewellery, inkwells, boxes, gravestones and even bank cheques, much for Liberty's Tudric pewter and Cymric (precious metals) ranges. The gravestone of Liberty's founder, Arthur Lasenby Liberty, was designed by Knox.

I just really think that Knox was a fascinating designer and he worked across so many mediums. He came from a small island and had vision. His pieces fetch great deals of money nowadays so go and hunt and see what you can find!

 

I shall leave you with a few images of his works. Don't forget to check out the links below for the Knox society!
