Attributed to Moyar Smith & made by Collinson & Lock. Chaise Lounge with triangular 'A' frame to one end, ebonised tramlines throughout with a lower turned gallery & turned feet. The semi upholstered back with open turned gallery & incised zig-zag & dot details. These details point towards the Dr Christopher Dresser studio's where Moyar Smith designed with Dresser, & this chaise is illustrated in the Collinson & Lock catalogue 1871 which Smith drew all the illustrations. The incised zig-zag & dot details are not Collcutt's hand & being so particular make it almost certain that Moyar Smith indeed designed this. Michael Whiteway notes that Collcutt designed nearly all of the furniture in the Collinson & Lock catalogue of 1871 & Moyar Smith drew all the illustrations & may have contributed some of the designs.

A chair with identical characteristics was registered by James Peddle in March 1881 & I have an armchair from the same design which has a Smee label still attached & we know he also did designs for Smee so it almost proves without doubt that these chairs were designed by him.

These elegant timeless recliners were based on a design from an earlier traditional prototype found by George Warrington Taylor (Morris & Co's business manager) in the workshop of an old carpenter named Ephraim Colman in Hurstmonceaux, Sussex, in 1866. He drew a sketch & wrote description of the chair & sent it to Philip Webb & these two examples are the exact models that were adapted by Phillip Webb for production by Morris & Co. So rare to find 1, a dream to find 2. An icon of the 20th Century.
