Morgan Colt (11 September 1876 – 12 June 1926) was an American metalworker, furniture craftsman, impressionist painter, and architect.

[1][2] He helped found the New Hope, Bucks County, Pennsylvania colony of painters—the leading landscape school in the United States during the early 20th–century—but was better known as a craftsman than a painter, specializing in hand–wrought iron garden furniture and fire screens.

[7] He also studied art at the Academie Julian in Paris and with painter William Langson Lathrop in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

[12] In addition, he designed the altar, candle holders, and lectern for St. Philips Chapel on River Road in New Hope sometime after 1921.

[12] Colt was influenced by William Morris and the Arts and Crafts movement in England, and began designing and making wood and iron furniture using traditional techniques.

The woodwork of its doorways are enriched with exquisite Gothic detail, and its walls are festooned with vines and carvings wrought in the stone.

"[8] Colt added a gatehouse cottage which connected to a large Medieval iron gate and gateway at the front of his property, followed by a stable (later the Inn at Phillips Mill).

[9][15] He also built a brick Tudor Revival style woodworking shop where he made wood furniture and chests detailed with Gothic–style tracery.

[12] In addition to his traditional crafts, Colt also painted in oils, favoring coastal views of Shinnecock, Long Island, and landscapes of Bucks County in the impressionist style.

[5][3][1][8] In 1916, Colt joined William Langson Lathrop, Rae Sloan Bredin, Daniel Garber, Charles Rosen, and Robert Spencer to form The New Hope Group.

[5] As modern art historians have noted, this had made it difficult to find his paintings today and to understand the scope of his work.
