Antique Questions Forum / Morris Chair?

« on: June 17, 2012, 03:18:05 pm »

I have an antique reclining chair with a brass plated bar across the back which is adjustable.  It looks like a Morris chair, but I have never seen a Morris Chair in which the upholstered portion of the chair is all in one piece, sort of a rounded "L" shape.  It looks more Victorian than Mission style to me.  The finish is really bad, and I was going to strip it and refinish and have it re-upholstered, but hubby thinks it might be valuable and that re-finish would hurt the value.  Has anyone seen a chair like this?  Thanks for your help.  Hope I am uploading the pic.
