Manufactured by Morris & Co.
England, circa 1875
This model was designed by Phillip Webb in 1875 for William Morris' study at Kelmscott House in Hammersmith. Mary A. Sloane's watercolour, titled 'May Morris in Tapestry Room at Kelmscott Manor' (1910-15), portrays William Morris' daughter, May, seated at a larger table of the same design editing the twenty-four volumes of Collected Works by William Morris. The table can still be found today in the Tapestry Room at Kelmscott Manor in Oxfordshire, where Morris spent his summers from 1871 until his death.
