Morris Beech Armchair, Arts & Crafts, England – 1920

The morris stained beech armchair from the 1920s is an iconic piece of the art & craft era, originating from england. This armchair, with its refined and functional design, perfectly embodies the spirit of the movement initiated by william morris (1834-1896), writer, poet and architect, whose works profoundly influenced art nouveau and art deco. Made from stained beech, this armchair is not only sturdy, but also elegant. The flat armrests are finely barred, adding a touch of sophistication to the whole. The back of the armchair can be reclined in four positions thanks to an ingenious rack and pinion system. In addition, the footrest can be stowed under the seat, thus offering optimal comfort and great flexibility of use. Upholstered in an almond-coloured velvet fabric, the armchair is also decorated with decorative studs, emphasizing its luxurious and timeless character. William morris, a central figure in the art & craft movement, has always advocated the alliance of art and craftsmanship. This armchair is a perfect example of this philosophy, combining aesthetics and functionality. Morris helped redefine the standards of interior design, with an emphasis on quality materials and craftsmanship. In short, the morris armchair in stained beech from the 1920s is much more than just a piece of furniture, because as morris liked to say "have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or that you do not think to be beautiful". ******** period: 1920 excellent condition.
