Item Description
A fascinating example of a late 19th Century variation of a Sussex chair, a highly scarce and unusual model.
Turned ebonised beech frame, with original finely woven rush seat. C.1870
After making contact with the William Morris Society this model did not appear in the Morris & Co furniture catalogue, although that does not rule out a Morris & Co variation.
The society went on to describe the many similarities this chair has to the Morris & Co Sussex armchair designed by Philip Webb, although the differences brought to mind models by other members of the Firm such as Rossetti.
Other firms, particularly Liberty & Co and Heals went on to produce their own versions of these popular designs.
