Throughout its trading history the firm of William T. Morris was confused in the public's mind with the firm of Morris & Co. of Liberty fame. This was a state of affairs that the former company did little to clarify and, despite threats of legal action on the part of Morris & Co., was one for obvious reasons the company was eager to maintain. William T. Morris & Company Ltd., had been established in around 1901 by William, the son of Richard Morris the owner of a glazing firm based in the Euston Road and Kennington. The production of metal casements and stained glass were the mainstay of the company's output and in this they were very successful, securing sizeable commissions here and abroad. By 1906 the fortunes of the new company had risen to such a point that William found it necessary to embark on a world tour to establish agencies in the Far East, America and Canada. Following the end of the First World War, the company was called upon to fulfill an increasing number of commissions for memorial windows, and in response to the demand for memorial sculpture, the company set up a bronze foundry. This new departure in turn proved highly successful. The company started to decline in the 1930s, when following the Wall Street Crash, commissions from America dried up. In 1935 the company was absorbed into the Pollard Group. Heavy volume weighing 2 kg, extra postage will be requested over and above our default setting for destinations outside the UK.
