The Rev. John Elmslie - The Cyclopedia of New Zealand [Canterbury Provincial District] The Rev. John Elmslie, M.A., D.D., Pastor of St. Paul's Church, Christchurch, was born in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, in 1831. He was primarily educated at the local parish school and grammar school, and studied at the King's College and University of Aberdeen, and at the Free Church College of that city.

"Lions and wyvens and dolphins, oh my!": Jessie Mitchell Elmslie's Arts and Crafts furniture Jessie Mitchell Elmslie was in her early twenties when she carved an intricate and highly decorative oak and kauri sideboard. The 2.5 metre high sideboard is dripping with Arts and Crafts iconography, including wyverns, lions and a Green Man with a flowing beard. Elmslie also incorporated copper tooling into her design, with beaten copper handles and repousse heraldic dolphins. Elmslie's father, Dr Rev John Elmslie, was the minister at St Paul's Presbyterian Church in Christchurch and one of his parishioners taught Elmslie to carve. She produced at least two large pieces of furniture during the 1890s: the sideboard now in the collection of Canterbury Museum and a walnut settle in the collection of Te Papa Tongarewa Museum of New Zealand.Woodcarving became popular with New Zealand women during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The Arts and Crafts movement, along with the establishment of art and design schools from the 1870s, meant that women were able to engage in practices formerly reserved for men. This paper will look at Elmslie and her work in the context of Arts and Crafts practice in New Zealand and consider the work of another talented carver, Evelyn Vaile. Hill, Marguerite Architectural History Aotearoa / Victoria University of Wellington
Settle This settle was carved in about 1891 by Jessie Mitchell Elmslie, and is an excellent example of New Zealand made Arts and Crafts furniture. Elmslie was the third daughter of Dr Rev John Elmslie, Minister of St. Paul’s Church in Christchurch, and was taught to carve by one of her father’s parishioners. She was in her early twenties when she made this piece, and is known to have made at least one other large furniture item at around that time (a sideboard held by Canterbury Museum). Arts and Crafts The Arts and Crafts movement began in Britain in the 1850s and 1860s, but as historian Douglas Lloyd Jenkins notes, it ‘could not have been better tailored for adoption in the colonies’ (Lloyd Jenkins, 15). Guided by William Morris and John Ruskin, proponents of the Arts and Crafts movement sought a return to the principles and values of the Middle Ages, promoting honest craftsmanship and a simple, uncluttered country life. This proved an attractive proposition to designers and craftspeople in New Zealand, many of whom saw themselves as building a ‘Better Britain’ free from the ills of the industrial world. The designs produced under the banner of Arts and Crafts were diverse, but the uniting characteristic of all of this work was ‘its rejection of industrial manufacturing and the machine, and its overarching preference for the home-made’ (Lloyd Jenkins, 15). Female Furniture Makers In New Zealand, many prominent artists working in the Arts and Crafts style were women. From 1890 to 1910 the most popular Arts and Crafts activity for women was woodcarving, although many pieces went unattributed and in most cases the individual makers remain unidentified. Prior to 1890 women had had very little participation in the furniture-making trade, which was largely restricted to young men who trained through apprenticeships. Women could, however, train at art and design schools, established in Dunedin in 1870, then Christchurch (1882), Wellington (1886), Auckland (1889) and Whanganui (1892). By 1900 skilled craftswomen had become central figures in local craft furniture production, creating a wide range of distinctive works. Neo-Classical Style This piece is fashioned in a neo-Classical revival style, modelled on Romanesque-style cassoni (carved Italian chests popular in the sixteenth century). Settles, defined as long wooden benches with backrests and arms, were modelled on chests, and many retained this function as well as being seats or beds. They went out of fashion in the eighteenth century, but became popular again with the historicising design movements of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The backboard and base feature mythical figures - perhaps wyverns or seawyverns - while the arm rests are carved with floral motifs in a Greek style.

John Elmslie

ELMSLIE, JOHN (1831-1907) was born in Aberdeenshire, educated in the parish and at the grammar school and King's College and Aberdeen University, where he graduated M.A. in 1857. He was five years in charge of the Free Church at Kennethmont and in 1867 came to take charge of the Presbyterian Church at Wanganui. In 1876 he received a call to St Paul's, Christchurch, where he remained until failing health prompted his retirement (1903). In 1890 he received the D.D. of his University. He lectured for two years at Canterbury College in connection with the Students' Christian Union and was twice moderator of the General Assembly of the church. Elmslie married first a daughter of George Mitchell (Auchragathel, Aberdeenshire) and second Jean (1854-1936), daughter of John Anderson (Christchurch). He died on 21 Jul 1907 and his widow on 6 Mar 1936.
