Whilst living in Arbroath on the east coast, he began exhibiting some of his new furniture at the Dundee Graphic Art Society, produced in collaboration with the cabinetmaker William Middleton. By 1902 he was combining the fine and applied arts by contributing painted panels which were incorporated into Middleton's furniture, which he had designed. This form of decorated furniture reflected sophisticated middle-class taste of the time, initiated by firms like Morris & Co. and promoted at the turn of the century by figures such as C.R. Ashbee and M.H. Baillie Scott. Between 1900 and 1902 Wyse published catalogues of their designs under the title 'Simple Furniture'. The furniture was promoted through the Scottish Guild of Handicraft, inspired by Ashbee's Guild of Handicraft, and set up with his friend Robert Maclaurin in 1898. Essentially a co-operative of independent like-minded craftsmen, the Guild promoted its members works at its gallery in Glasgow before moving to premises in Stirling in 1906.

Through his various publications he influenced the international design community and he was particularly celebrated in The United States and could be said to be responsible for the design vocabulary of designers and firms such as the Herter Brothers, Kimbel and Cabus, Frank Furness and Daniel Pabst. The chairs in the current lot represent the very best of his work, in terms of design and quality of execution, and are unusual in retaining the original velvet upholstery. The accompanying illustration shows the chairs in a room setting, with minor variants as is common with design suggestions. This illustration was published in 'Gothic Forms' (Applied to Furniture, Metalwork and Decoration for Domestic Purposes by B.J. Talbert, Archt., London.) and published by S. Birbeck in 1867.
