The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Designed in the late nineteenth century and retailed by Morris & Co., the Sussex chair was inspired by a traditional country chair found in Sussex, becoming an iconic example of the Arts and Crafts movements focus on simple craftsmanship.

These chairs were typically constructed from stained or ebonised beech wood featuring turned spindles, lightweight timber frames, and hand-woven natural rush seats.

Authentic period pieces display subtle variations in the turned spindles, hand-woven rush seating, specific jointing construction, and occasionally stamped maker marks on the frame.

A Sussex armchair functions well as a standalone accent piece in a reading corner, alongside a minimalist writing desk, or paired with contemporary soft furnishings to add historical texture.

Clean the timber using a soft dry cloth and apply natural beeswax periodically, while keeping the piece away from direct heat sources to prevent the natural rush seat from drying out.
