The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Introduced in the 1860s by Morris & Co., the Sussex chair range was derived from traditional vernacular country seating found in Sussex, becoming an iconic standard of the Arts and Crafts movement.

Authentic Sussex chairs are typically constructed from turned beech wood, often stained or ebonised black, paired with hand-woven natural rush seats.

Key identifiers include lightweight turned frames, delicate spindles or specific back-splat designs such as the Rossetti motif, double stretchers, and natural wear to the ebonised finish.

Place the chair as a standalone accent piece beside a desk, in a hallway, or within a reading corner to introduce graphic dark tones and tactile material contrast.

Keep the chair away from direct heat sources to prevent the rush from drying out, lightly mist the seat with water occasionally to maintain elasticity, and dust the wood with a soft dry cloth.
