GODWIN EX - 107. Armchair designed by E W Godwin. Made by Smee. See The Secular Furniture of E W Godwin by Susan Weber Soros page 131.

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.
