Vintage Wing Chair and Ottoman in William Morris Strawberry Thief Cotton Fabric

About the Item

A vintage, roomy wingback armchair and ottoman reupholstered in the iconic "Strawberry Thief" pattern crafted in the United Kingdom and created by renowned Arts & Crafts textile designer William Morris. The chair has large mahogany paw feet at front while the ottoman has claw and ball feet. Though not a original pairing, the shape, height and heft of the chair and ottoman work well together. The chair also has a pair of antimacassar arm covers in the same fabric as the upholstery. The original Strawberry Thief fabric design c. 1883, has been recreated in this 100% cotton fabric. It is an enduring classic, with its symmetry and intricate detail of both strawberries and thrushes. Morris & Co iconic design at its best, it was said to be inspired by the thrushes Morris found stealing fruit from his kitchen garden. Captivating, bold, and beautiful, this exquisite color palette is in the crimson/slate colorway. It is both quirky and traditional all at the same time. Dimensions: Chair: 46"h x 39"w x 35"d. Arm Height 26" Seat Height 18" Ottoman: 18"h x 30'w x 24"d Condition: Good. The fabric is clean. The feet have some nicks from contact with a vacuum or broom. Shows well. Ready to place.

Antique Original William Morris Sussex Rope Seat Armchair Seen in the V&A Museum
By William Morris (English)
Located in West Sussex, Pulborough
We 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'. Examples from the Sussex range were supplied for students' rooms at Newnham College...
