Note: The Rossetti chair of ebonized beech with characteristic backrest. A chair of this type (manufactured by Morris) were traditionally called a 'Rossetti' chair, after the poet and artist, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, friend of William Morris. Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-1882) was an enthusiastic collector of antiques and owned a very similar chair to this example, shown with him in a photograph of 1863. He may have suggested the idea of using his chair as a model for the firm to copy so that they could add a new design to their range of furniture. Some of Rossetti's Regency furniture can still be seen at Kelmscott Manor, Oxfordshire, the house that he and William Morris used for holidays.
