When these came out in 1869, Morris chairs became highly popular - these were the very first <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recliner" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Recliner">reclining chair</a> of their time. These were particularly popular in <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=51.5,-0.116666666667&spn=10.0,10.0&q=51.5,-0.116666666667%20%28England%29&t=h" rel="geolocation" target="_blank" title="England">England</a> during the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victorian_era" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Victorian era">Victorian era</a>. In fact, these were so popular that these were replicated by many furniture makers from that time and onwards. These also gained great recognition during the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arts_and_Crafts_Movement" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Arts and Crafts Movement">Arts and Crafts movement</a> in the early 19th century.<br /><br />A typical Morris is simple in their overall features. There are no elaborate woodcarvings on its structure, just clean edges and dark-stained woodwork. It has high armrests with no upholstery while the back and seats are fitted with cushions. But the main highlight of the whole design is its reclining back, which served as the basis of modern reclining chairs. Its reclining back is able to adjust up to 5 levels of tilting positions through the wood indentations carved on the back of each armrest.<br /><h2>Morris Home Furniture</h2><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbqJ-g1fKa55vFsZsO6OC_rw5b_iBliiPwZ-cpdBrZFnXUJt41QpToYNvliX_PZmVLdykiSbfKTf-9I9pFOY_jnm2ktK8olmnraLJhlsKm1o06QcW0JH6uFypPWOh3jyVS7PKCLzumVERF/s400/chair_Morris.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbqJ-g1fKa55vFsZsO6OC_rw5b_iBliiPwZ-cpdBrZFnXUJt41QpToYNvliX_PZmVLdykiSbfKTf-9I9pFOY_jnm2ktK8olmnraLJhlsKm1o06QcW0JH6uFypPWOh3jyVS7PKCLzumVERF/s200/chair_Morris.jpg" width="185" /></a></div>You might also be wondering if what era <a href="http://fortheloveofmyhome.blogspot.com/2012/07/selecting-home-office-furniture-in.html" target="_blank"><u><i><b>Morris-like chairs</b></i></u></a> with hand-carved lion paws belong to.
