FAQs

The Sussex armchair, popularised by Morris & Co. in the late 19th century, was inspired by traditional vernacular rush-seated chairs found in country cottages and Sussex farmhouses.

These chairs are typically constructed from turned timbers such as ash, beech, or ebonised wood, featuring woven rush seats and multi-spindle backs assembled with traditional joinery.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the quality of the turned wood components, the tightness and material of the rush weaving, and often the presence of maker stamps or paper labels under the seat frame.

They provide organic texture and historical contrast when paired with sleek, contemporary dining tables or used as accent seating in minimalist living spaces.

Rush seats should be kept away from direct sunlight and excessive moisture to prevent brittleness, and cleaned gently with a dry brush or a barely damp cloth.
