Archibald Knox (9 April 1864 – 22 February 1933), was a Manx designer of Scottish descent. He is best known as being Liberty's primary designer at the height of their success and influence upon British and International design.[1] Knox's work bridged the Arts and Crafts Movement, Celtic Revival, Art Nouveau, and Modernism. He is seen as a leading figure of the Modern Style movement.[2][3]
Knox's hundreds of designs for Liberty made his style widely known,[4] though not his name, as Liberty kept their designers anonymous. Most of his work for Liberty was for the Tudric (pewter) and Cymric (precious metals) ranges.[citation needed] The gravestone of Liberty founder, Arthur Lasenby Liberty, was designed by Knox.[5]
His design talent covered a wide range of objects, ornamental and utilitarian, and included silverware and pewterware, jewellery, inkwells, boxes, gravestones, watercolours, graphic designs,[6] calligraphy,[6] a house design, fonts and even bank cheques.[7]
Some sources estimate that he produced around 5,000 designs.[8]
