Catalogue Note
Heaton made a very few examples of marquetry work at his Neuchâtel, Switzerland workshop during the period 1903 to 1905. He exhibited a jewellery casket at the 1903 Arts and Crafts Exhibition, which was illustrated in The Studio, vol. 119 (February 1903), p. 180. This cabinet is the only example to have been traced.
