Description
GEORGE JACK: A MORRIS & CO SAVILLE ARMCHAIR, the shaped back and seat upholstered in original Morris & Co fabric, with scrolling outswept arms and shaped legs. The Saville chair, which was almost certainly designed by George Jack, is an example of the firms later production where Mahogany predominates and a late Victorian sophistication replaces the earlier medieval revival pieces. Jack was assistant to Philip Webb, the firms chief furniture designer, and took over from him on his retirement in 1890. This is a rare example of this fine chair in that it appears to retain its original Morris and Co upholstery. See Illustration £500-800
