The legs having the bobbin turned stretchers below, and stood on original brass and Ruberoid castors which are softer to the floor.
Provenance associates the chair with a Norman Shaw house at Bedford Park, acquired around forty years ago.

These classic elegant timeless and very comfortable recliners were based on a design from an earlier traditional prototype found in the workshop of an old carpenter named Ephraim Colman in Herstmonceux, East Sussex. England in 1866 by George Warrington Taylor who was the business manager for Morris Marshall and Faulkner. He drew a sketch and wrote a description of the chair and sent it to Philip Webb who adapted it for production by Morris, Marshall, and Faulkner 1861–1875. (The firm became Morris and Co in 1875.
