Bustle Back Bow Arm Morris Recliner
Based on turn-of-the-century Arts and Crafts designs that were the forerunners of the modern recliner, the Bustle Back Bow Arm Morris Recliner brings long, graceful bowed arms and slatted sides to a manual reclining frame. The bustle back is a defining feature of the original Morris chair form, and it gives this version a visual depth that flat-back recliners cannot replicate.
At 34.75 inches wide with a 40.5-inch depth when upright, it fits into a reading corner or alongside a sofa as a generous accent. The manual recline mechanism extends the chair to 69 inches deep and keeps the frame clean with no visible power hardware. Fully customizable in fabric or leather at the showroom.
