Lot #8: Antique American Arts & Crafts Mission Oak Morris Chair, c. 1910

- Authentic American Arts & Crafts period Mission oak "Morris" reclining lounge chair closely matching designs from the early 20th century by makers such as Charles P. Limbert or the Stickley workshops - Antique 1910s - Constructed from solid quarter-sawn white oak, this exemplary piece features a dramatic, high architectural backrest built with an open, stylized grid of interlocking vertical and horizontal slats with mortise-and-tenon style joinery details. The chair showcases robust, wide flat arms anchored by heavy, squared structural legs. - Equipped with its original and highly desirable reclining mechanism, the backrest angle adjusts manually via a horizontal wooden rod resting against a series of stepped, hand-turned wooden peg drops integrated behind each arm. - The drop-in seat foundation retains its sturdy horizontal wood support slats, complete with a loose, vintage floral tapestry-upholstered cushion. - Balanced on original metal wheel casters at the base. - Very good antique condition overall with an honest, beautifully aged dark patina to the oak. Structurally sound with solid joinery. Expected light wear, surface scuffs, and minor varnish loss consistent with age and use. Tapestry cushion fabric shows authentic vintage wear, remains intact and usable but would benefit from re-upholstery - Dimensions: height to top of back 48", height to top of seat 19", arm length 30", chair width 29" Note: chair is large, bring appropriate vehicle (truck or van) and 2 people to move it PICK UP DATES: We are offering 2 pick up dates for your convenience, pick up on Sunday Nov 22 from 10am-1pm or Tuesday Nov 24 from 5pm-7pm.
