Know before you buy
The chair is upholstered in top-grain leather, which is the highest quality grade of leather. It features a distressed finish, meaning it will have natural variations in color and texture that develop a unique patina over time.
The chair is constructed with a foam-filled cushion designed to balance comfort with support. Given the shelter arm design and the sturdy wood frame, you can expect a supportive, structured sit rather than a deep, plush sink-in feel.
The Silchester chair measures 41 inches wide, 39 inches deep, and 32 inches high. Most standard interior doorways are at least 30 to 32 inches wide, so you should be able to maneuver it through easily, though you may need to angle it slightly.
The nailhead trim is a decorative detail and does not require maintenance beyond occasional dusting. We recommend using a soft, dry cloth to wipe the area to prevent dust buildup between the nailheads.
The wood base is a key design element of the Silchester chair. It features visible wooden block legs that complement the contemporary silhouette, adding a touch of warmth to the metal leg accents.
