J. Henry Sellers

James Henry Sellers (1 November 1861 – 30 January 1954) was a British architect and furniture designer who worked mainly in the north of England. As an architect he is particularly known for innovative buildings in an Early Modern style using reinforced concrete and often featuring a flat roof, although he also worked in other styles. His best-known solo work is the Dronsfield Brothers office in Oldham, Lancashire (1906–8). From the early 1900s, he had a fruitful collaboration with Edgar Wood; their joint works include Dalny Veed in Barley, Hertfordshire (1907) and the Durnford Street and Elm Street Schools in Middleton, Lancashire (1908–10). After Wood left England in around 1922, Sellers returned to a neo-Georgian style, continuing to practise until 1947 or 1948. His output includes private houses, schools, banks, offices and war memorials.

His furniture designs are known for their ornamentation using wood veneer and inlays. Many pieces are in the permanent collection of Manchester Art Gallery.
