Hi,
Can anyone help me identify this recliner. I know it is a Morris style but I'd like to know more about the possible age, maker, etc.
Thanks,
lkayne

The chair may be English with the barley twist spindles. The lion heads lead me to believe it is an early chair. Just the opinion of a Metalsmith and should be taken as such.

Late 1800s / turn of the century, American 'Gothic' golden oak, throw a dart at the board of dozens of potential makers. Unless it's marked, these chairs are harder to figure out than Arts & Crafts / Mission style, and may very well be from a company that switched styles or made both styles, after 1900 or so. It looks like a good chair, don't get me wrong, certainly better than many of the early 1900's pressback and spindle chairs which dragged the 'golden oak' style all the way to the twenties.
