Morris chair

The original Morris chair had dark stained woodwork, turned spindles and heavily decorated upholstery, in typical Victorian style.

These chairs were produced in the hundreds of thousands from about 1890 to 1930 in versions ranging from affordable to very high-end.

At the low price end, these chairs were sold by The Larkin Soap Company and other large firms such as Sears Roebuck and Montgomery Ward.

Woodwork is lightly finished and largely undecorated oak in rectangular sections.

As with all Stickley, these chairs are keenly collected today and originals fetch several thousands of dollars.
