J. Henry Sellers, a distinguished Manchester architect and designer, formed a notable partnership with Edgar Wood in 1904.

The interiors of their houses, along with their furniture designs, often featured textiles and wallpaper from Morris & Co.
Sellers' furniture designs are seen as an extension of the English woodworking tradition. The high quality of craftsmanship and the use of sophisticated and exotic materials in his work bear a significant resemblance to the creations of Dutch cabinet maker Peter Waals. The partnership between Sellers and Wood produced numerous noteworthy projects that contributed to the architectural and design heritage of their era.
