Here for sale is this old Antique armchair in the manner of the Sussex chair by William Morris. Not sure of its exact age but I think its pretty old, possibly Victorian era.
Its a lovely chair and has great wear and signs of use and really looks the part. Its quite quirkily made with some detail to the frame but also has some not quite straight spindles/stretchers especially on the back rest which I guess have warped a little over the years unless they were like that originally.
This would make a great bedroom chair or decorative chair but I don't think its really an everyday use chair as the the rush is a little fragile with the odd missing or broken strand, its still mostly together and looks great and you can sit on it but I'm not sure it would be suitable for everyday sitting use. Up to you.
It has wear and marks around the frame, it was obviously ebonised at one time but is quite a matt finish.
There is a little flex and movement in the arms as you always get with an old chair.
It really is a beautiful piece and I wish I had a space for it at home !!
The dimensions are Height ( top of back legs) 95 cms, Seat width 57.5 cms, Seat height 43 cms. Seat depth 42 cms.
