WM 10 and IPS 32
A monumental set of seventeen Morris and Co oak dining chairs consisting of two armchairs and fifteen dining chairs all with drop in seats. These chairs were designed in the offices of Richard Norman Shaw, probably designed by William. Lethaby. The whole set have been restored, each chair gently knocked apart, all the joints cleaned, glued, re assembled and clamped for 36 hours for the glue to set, then all cleaned and waxed, a few of the seventeen have been previously professionally re-upholstered in a quality leather.
I also have two more available which match but have upholstered seats not drop in seats like the rest. This pair could be converted to make up a set of nineteen if required.
Circa 1890.

WM 11
A William Morris Sussex rush seat armchair.
Of all the specific minor improvements in common household objects due to Morris, the rush-bottomed Sussex chair perhaps takes the first place. It was not his own invention, but was copied with trifling improvements from an old chair of village manufacture in Sussex. With or without modification it has been taken up by all the modern manufacturer's and is in almost Universal use.

Morris & Co. A rare and exceptional, museum quality ebonised Sussex three seat settee.
This is by far the very best example of this type of Sussex settee I have ever seen, and I dare to say probably to ever come onto the market.
They were made in very small numbers and extremely rare to find in today's market. The condition is outstanding, no restorations in it's life and all of the joints are still as tight as when it was made, retaining it's original fine rush seat which is a joy to see, including all of it's original protector strips around the rush seat.

WM 54
Morris and Co, a pair of ebonized and rush seat side chairs from the Sussex range designed by Dante Gabriel Rossetti with fine fan back spindles and turned legs.
We can have new rush seats laid if required at a cost of £350 each, this includes dismantling the chairs, cleaning all the joints, re glueing and clamping overnight. This should always be completed before the new rush is laid because if the chair becomes loose at the joints afterwards, then the rush would have to be cut off to repair the chairs. You can see various rush seat chairs where I have had the rush renewed on my site here for an idea of how they would look restored.

THE SUSSEX RUSH-SEATED CHAIR

An appendage to an advertisement post-1899.
Circa 1865 and into the 20th Century.
