Architect, builder and furniture designer and maker James Chapman-Taylor was a leading light in the arts and crafts movement in New Zealand. His houses and furnishings reflected an English cottage-style aesthetic with an emphasis on the handmade and simplicity in decoration. This adzed 'Morris-style' chair made in the 1930s is typical of Chapman-Taylor's work.
