A fine, untouched (except me giving it a light wax polish) example of the famous Sussex armchair, as made famous by the likes of William Morris, Liberty's, Heals, the Arts and Crafts movement, Aesthetic movement, etc.

The design of the 'Sussex' armchair is attributed to Philip Speakman Webb (born 1831 - died 1915) and went into production at Morris and Co. from 1865.

It's a traditional Sussex stick-construction chair made from turned and steam-bent beech wood, with original rush seating.

This example has a wonderful worn patina and some fine details. For example, the flared ends and extra detailed turning to the arms, the bobbin-like spindles in the backrest, the neat, turned button finials that top the back legs. And notice the classic Sussex design where the bottom of the arm supports pierce the stretcher underneath.

Here are a couple of links worth looking at for more information on Sussex chairs:


 

No splits, no old or current woodworm, no wobbles, some individual lengths of the rush have broken and come away - see photo (but still very useable, especially with a nice cushion).

DIMENSIONS:
Height to top of back: 91.5cm
Height to seat: 43cm
Seat width at widest point: 48cm
Seat front to back: 45cm

Quite good for costume quality
Color: Gold, Size: Medium
For eighty bucks this definitely isn't bad. It arrived slightly out of shape but after a few days on a good hanger, it all fell into place. I had no issues with fit--the medium wears as expected (6', 38" chest). It's a fun jacket, it's not far off from the product photos, and it certainly makes an impression. While it doesn't feel 'premium' per se, it doesn't feel cheap either. The liner is solid enough that the sequins don't feel too scratchy or restrictive. Definitely a niche item--certainly more of a costume piece than something you'd wear to make a bold impression at a formal event, and while not inexpensive, it delivers for the price and I don't think you could do much better for $80.

Fits like we had hoped. We purchased another one different brand and it was terrible quality. But this jacket was my son’s style and comfortable. Just what he was looking for

Shiny Small Sequin Blazer
Size: Small, Color: Black
This tuxedo blazer is one for the looks. It’s shiny black 100% polyester material, with a mesh net on the left side that has dark gold plastic sequins sewn on in a tree pattern. The material is taut with seams at the sides and the middle of the back. There is a single button. There are no pockets outside nor inside the jacket. The quality will hold up and is a decent value for the money. This was for a 5’5 male of slim build and fit quite snug. The measurement in inches: 17 - shoulders; 23 - sleeves; 27-1/2 nape to bottom of blazer.

Size a tad small
Size: Large, Color: Black
So many compliments so don’t buy this if you don’t like people to notice. I’d say fits a tad on the small side.
