Morris Chair
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Morris Chair is an early type of reclining chair. The design was adapted by William Morris's firm, Morris & Company from a prototype owned by Ephraim Colman in rural Sussex, England. It was first marketed around 1866.[1]
The design features a seat with a reclining back and moderately high armrests, which give the chair an old-style appearance. It was widely copied after Morris's original introduction, and is still manufactured today, though it is known more as an example of Arts and Crafts style than of Victorian design. This is mainly due to adaptations made by Gustav Stickley and others, including Liberty & Co., who made changes that updated and popularized the design.
