House designed by C.F.A. Voysey near Guildford, Surrey, 1897

Charles Francis Annesley Voysey (1857 - 1941) was an English architect, designer and typographer. He articled with architects J.P.Seddon and George Devey, and then opened an office of his own in 1882, concentrating on wallpaper and fabric designs rather than architecture. He designed his first house in 1888, and in 1900 built his own home "The Orchard" designing much of the furniture, decoration and fittings. His characteristic simple architectural style was highly influential, and was copied widely. In all he designed around 150 houses, and designed decorative arts products, including wallpaper, textiles and carpets for a variety of British firms.

Historic Style is pleased to introduce his designs in their online catalogue.
