Know before you buy
Aniline pull-up leather is a high-quality, natural hide that develops a unique patina over time. When stretched or pulled, the color lightens, creating a beautiful, lived-in aesthetic that highlights the leather's natural character.
The 8-way hand-tied method is a hallmark of premium furniture craftsmanship. By individually tying each coil to the frame and surrounding springs, it provides superior support and prevents the seat from sagging, ensuring the chair maintains its structural integrity for years.
No, the fiber down back cushion is permanently attached to the frame. This design ensures the chair always maintains its tailored, sophisticated silhouette without the need to constantly adjust or fluff the back cushion.
The spring down seat cushion offers a balanced feel. It combines the supportive resilience of metal springs with the soft, plush comfort of down, providing a luxurious sit that doesn't feel overly soft or sinking.
The nail trim is a decorative accent and does not require specific maintenance beyond occasional dusting. We recommend using a soft, dry cloth to keep the brass looking polished and free of debris.
The chair measures 35.5 inches deep, 28.25 inches wide, and 37.5 inches high. With an arm height of 24.5 inches and a seat height of 20.5 inches, it is sized to fit comfortably in most standard living room layouts or reading nooks.
