His later life centred on Tudor House, 16 Cheyne Walk, Chelsea, to which he moved in 1862, after the death of his wife, artist Elizabeth Siddal (1829-62). Increasingly reclusive, his earlier interest in interiors intensified and the house became a canvas for experimentation in colour, texture, and stylistic eclecticism. This Regency revival style sofa stood in his bedroom, alongside matching green velvet curtains, and a four-poster bed hung with seventeenth century crewelwork. It was described by Rossetti's assistant, painter H. Treffry Dunn, as: 'an old-fashioned sofa, with three little panels let into the back, whereon Rossetti had painted the figures of Amor, Amans, and Amata... With its rich, dark green velvet seats and luxurious pillows, this sofa looked very pretty and formed the only comfortable piece of furniture visible’. Rossetti chose to decorate this sofa with three medallions showing a love-struck young man (‘the Loving’), a figure of Cupid with his bow and arrow (‘Love’) and a sleeping young woman (‘the Beloved’), who may resemble his late wife. Although the sofa is in an 'old-fashioned' style, it is now thought to possibly have been made for Rossetti in 1862 by decorative arts firm, Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Company (a precursor of Morris & Company), of which Rossetti was a founding partner, in 1861. The sofa was given to the Museum by Charles Fairfax Murray, an artist, collector and dealer associated with both Rossetti and Morris, who also donated Titian’s 'Tarquin and Lucretia' to the Fitzwilliam. reference term-119977 adlib-term-119977 96c74ab3-0541-3751-b578-34008824b454 19th Century, third quarter reference term-15214 adlib-term-15214 744af2c4-a2f2-37ad-bbf4-2cd00e91ed9b Victorian reference term-106216 adlib-term-106216 825b8379-ec94-388e-9a59-624e40c090d0 literal England England country London Depth cm 66 Height cm 82.6 Length cm 199.1 reference media-195603 adlib-media-195603 f13a9a4e-66a4-3fd7-bd1f-4bbfc1f62169 jpeg aa/aa32/large_MF_1_20_26_20A_1918_1_201011_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 545 width pixels 1024 1675706442362 1 image jpeg aa/aa32/mid_MF_1_20_26_20A_1918_1_201011_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 266 width pixels 500 1675706442362 1 image jpeg aa/aa32/MF_1_20_26_20A_1918_1_201011_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 548 width pixels 1030 1675706442362 1 image jpeg aa/aa32/preview_MF_1_20_26_20A_1918_1_201011_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 133 width pixels 250 1675706442362 1 image 0 media image reference media-195604 adlib-media-195604 ffcfc585-16de-32b8-9faf-dda1de2ebf43 jpeg aa/aa32/large_MF_1_20_26_20A_1918_5_201011_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 601 width pixels 1023 1675706442657 1 image jpeg aa/aa32/mid_MF_1_20_26_20A_1918_5_201011_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 294 width pixels 500 1675706442657 1 image jpeg aa/aa32/MF_1_20_26_20A_1918_5_201011_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 605 width pixels 1030 1675706442657 1 image jpeg aa/aa32/preview_MF_1_20_26_20A_1918_5_201011_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 147 width pixels 250 1675706442657 1 image 1 media image reference media-195605 adlib-media-195605 78cd65a0-6098-355d-83d1-38ef27d1cb96 jpeg aa/aa32/large_MF_1_20_26_20A_1918_6_201011_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 628 width pixels 1023 1675706440915 1 image jpeg aa/aa32/mid_MF_1_20_26_20A_1918_6_201011_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 307 width pixels 500 1675706440915 1 image jpeg aa/aa32/MF_1_20_26_20A_1918_6_201011_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 632 width pixels 1030 1675706440915 1 image jpeg aa/aa32/preview_MF_1_20_26_20A_1918_6_201011_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 153 width pixels 249 1675706440915 1 image 2 media image reference media-195606 adlib-media-195606 164d354c-bf65-39f8-a12f-ce01d6302c98 jpeg aa/aa32/large_MF_1_20_26_20A_1918_7_201011_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 639 width pixels 1024 1675706441311 1 image jpeg aa/aa32/mid_MF_1_20_26_20A_1918_7_201011_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 312 width pixels 500 1675706441311 1 image jpeg aa/aa32/MF_1_20_26_20A_1918_7_201011_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 643 width pixels 1030 1675706441311 1 image jpeg aa/aa32/preview_MF_1_20_26_20A_1918_7_201011_adn21_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 156 width pixels 250 1675706441311 1 image 3 media image reference term-115936 adlib-term-115936 b49e811b-7966-3d3d-9673-8c99418df930 sofa and cushion settee history note Dante Gabriel Rossetti, 16 Cheyne Walk, London; Charles Fairfax Murray reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum Publ. p. 85, and p. 156, no. 174 'Amor, Amans, Amata'. 85, 156 reference publication-6124 adlib-publication-6124 05cb6e93-0d52-3ffd-b5ae-6490095260fe Dante Gabriel Rossetti.
