FAQs

An Arts and Crafts reclining armchair, often referred to as a Morris chair, is an adjustable back seat design originating in the late 19th century. Pioneered by designers like Philip Webb for Morris & Co., the design prioritises exposed timber construction, structural honesty, and functional comfort.

These chairs were typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, or walnut, joined using traditional mortise and tenon techniques. Upholstery frequently featured natural materials including horsehair padding, woven textiles, or buttoned leather, secured with brass fittings and castors.

Authentic period examples exhibit traditional hand-cut joinery, original brass reclining mechanisms or peg adjustments, and natural timber grain patination. Look for substantial timber framing, period-correct brass castors, and original construction details along the slatted side panels.

Place the chair in a dedicated reading nook or study accompanied by a contemporary floor lamp and a low side table. The rich timber tones and dark leather upholstery pair well with neutral stone walls, muted wool rugs, and minimalist interior architectural details.

Maintain the timber frame by dusting with a soft cloth and applying a natural beeswax polish twice a year. Treat the original leather upholstery with a specialist leather conditioner to prevent drying or cracking, and keep the chair away from direct heat sources and sunlight.
