Four Vintage of William Morris for Libertys London Early 20th Century Armchairs
About the Item
We are delighted to offer for sale set of four early 20th century William Morris for Liberty London armchairs
A very good looking and well made set of four highly decorative chairs. They were sold to me as William Morris made for Liberty’s London. They are clearly made by a master craftsman, just looking at the minute carved round balls of timber around the edges of the backrest and the quality of the inlay inside the backrest. Perhaps they were simply upholstered with a Liberty fabric and not retailed by Liberty’s, either way they are a cracking set of chairs
They have been extensively restored over the years, there are old repairs, new repairs, metal plates and brackets have been fitted here and there, I can see a new piece of timber under one seat pad and so on. We have cleaned waxed and polished them, the frames have been checked glued and clamped as required
The upholstery is in good order, both carver chairs have cold sprung bases which has dropped a little but are still in good working order

- Antique Original William Morris Sussex Rope Seat Armchair Seen in the V&A MuseumBy William Morris (English)Located in GBWe are delighted to offer for sale this lovely very rare and collectable William Morris Rush seat Sussex armchair circa 1870-1880 as seen in the Victorian and Albert museum The History This chair was named after a country chair found in Sussex, which inspired the design with the turned frame and rush seat. Similar types of chairs, with imitation bamboo frames and rush seats, were fashionable between 1790 and 1820. Ownership & Use William Morris and his wife, Jane, used Sussex chairs in their first home, Red House, Bexleyheath, Kent, from 1860 and subsequently in their London house, Kelmscott House, Hammersmith. Morris's great friend, the artist Edward Burne-Jones (1833-1898) had Sussex armchairs in his studio, as did the sculptor, Alfred Gilbert (1854-1934). Robert Edis recommended this chair as 'excellent, comfortable and artistic' in his influential book, 'Decoration and Furnishing of Town Houses in 1881'.
