Footnote
Note: The artist, Ford Madox Brown, was one of the original partners in Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co., the firm founded by William Morris and his friends in 1861. Although not known as a furniture designer, it is thought he suggested this version of the Sussex range, which was also sold as an armchair.
