In l86l, William Morris and his collaborators set up the home furnishings company Morris, Marshall, Faulkner &the architect Philip Webb, who cocreated Red House in Bexleyheath with and for William Morris. The Sussex range has ebonised beech frames and rush seats and comprised side chairs, armchairs, settles, corner chairs and even children’s chairs. At auction they start at very affordable prices; recently we sold a Sussex armchair for £390, while a parcel lot of an armchair and a side chair made £455.
