He founded the Guild of Handicraft in 1888 and created most of its furniture designs. It was in about 1900 that he began designing chairs which are characteristically simple in form, typically composed of solid elements softened by some curved feature – in this instance the back splat and subtle splay of the feet.

In 1923 he established his own workshop in Windermere in the Lake District where he worked until his retirement in 1961. He celebrated the physical demands of hand-made furniture believing that it benefitted the whole person and largely undertook work for commissions. His archive is held by the Abbot Hall Art Gallery in Kendal.
• STANLEY WEBB DAVIES (1894-1978)
  STANLEY WEBB DAVIES (1894-1978) ARTS & CRAFTS CENTRE TABLE, DATED 1931 walnut, carved maker's cypher and date76cm diameter, 61cm highNote: During the First World War, Stanley Webb Davies spent much of his time in France building huts for refugees. This only further deepened his love for woodworking which he had developed since he was a young boy at school. Upon his return from the war in 1920, he became an apprentice to Arthur Romney Green, before setting up his own workshop in Windermere in 1923, where he worked until his retirement in 1961. Davies’ work ultimately represents a reaction against machine-made furniture of the Victorian era. Instead, he sought to celebrate the physical demands of the craftsman by exposing certain elements of the construction and using techniques such as chamfering which focussed one’s attention to the character of the timber and skill involved in making simple and elegant handmade pieces. He kept a small stock in his workshop but much of the designs he produced throughout his career were made to commission.
