Sought after Antique chair...I have included quite a few photos of this chair for the discerning collector
Hi there I am selling this chair for my parents who live in Adelaide South Australia. This chair is made from American Oak and has the distinctive Morris Chair carvings on the front feet and the arms of the chair. The back two chair legs have small rollers.
In the true Morris style, the chair has the adjustable back.
It is quite rare for the label to still be attached to this chair as usually they fall off...details are below
There is a label attached underneath the chair and the wording on it states as follows: Heywood Brothers Wakefield Company. Gardner Mass. USA. Label No. (there may have been a label number written on this label sticker, but it is hard to make out the actual number due to age...it has faded).
Height is approximately 1.04 metres
Depth 760cms
Width 730cms
Pick up only from Macclesfield South Australia 5153.
My parents have said that they are happy to discuss the option of delivering this chair within South Australia....just as long as its relatively local...e.g. Adelaide city and surrounding suburbs etc...Please contact me first to arrange a quote for local delivery.
My parents have also stated that they are happy for the chair to be transported interstate or overseas, however, the entire responsbility of transport arrangements, payment for transport required, and packaging of this chair for transport would be the total responsibility of the buyer. My parents are elderly and I live interstate, so a fuss free transaction and agreement with these conditions is imperative.
Payment is C.O.D, bank cheque or bank deposit, paypal...all monies are to have cleared before the collection of this chair. Personal cheques will not be accepted.
Thank you for looking and if you would like to view this chair, please contact me for details.
Below is some of the history of the Morris Chair as per Wikipedia information provided.....
A 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. The characteristic feature of a Morris chair is a hinged back, set between two un-upholstered arms, with the reclining angle adjusted through a row of pegs, holes or notches in each arm. The original Morris chair had dark stained woodwork, turned spindles and heavily decorated upholstery, in typical Victorian style.
The chair was widely copied after Morris' introduction, and is still manufactured. The appearance and style of upholstery is usually quite different to Morris', but the overall layout is constant. The best known examples are those first produced by Gustav Stickley[2] and then widely copied afterwards. These are in the American Craftsman idiom, rather than English Arts & Crafts styles. Woodwork is lightly-finished and largely undecorated oak in rectangular sections. Upholstery comprises unframed cushions in brown leather, or green or brown fabric. As this style is by far the most common, the chair is often thought of as a Stickley design named in homage to Morris, rather than an original Morris piece. As with all Stickley, these chairs are keenly collected today and originals will fetch several thousands of dollars
