Buttoned Back Leather Armchair

The Buttoned Back Leather Armchair is a masterpiece of traditional upholstery, requiring over 20 hours of skilled labor to complete. The frame is constructed from a combination of kiln-dried beech and poplar hardwoods, with double-doweled and corner-blocked joints for a lifespan measured in decades. The seat springs are hand-tied eight-way coil springs – the gold standard for luxury furniture – each coil individually knotted to the frame with jute twine. This provides a responsive, resilient support that conforms to your body. The backrest features a deep buttoned (tufted) design with 12 buttons (arranged in a 3×4 grid), each hand-tied through the upholstery layers. The leather is premium full-grain aniline leather from a Spanish tannery (color: cognac brown). The hide is drum-dyed with a semi-aniline finish, which adds a slight amount of protective pigment while still allowing the natural grain and markings to show. The leather has a soft, oily hand feel and will develop a rich patina with use. The seat cushion is a ‘feather blend’ – a core of high-resilience foam wrapped in a layer of duck feathers (70% feathers, 30% down) encased in a down-proof ticking. The back cushion is fixed and filled with shredded latex foam for a firm yet comfortable support. The arms are ‘scroll’ style, gently curving outward, and are also button-tufted on the outer panels. The front legs are solid mahogany with a dark walnut stain and brass casters (non-marring rubber wheels). Dimensions: 86 cm width x 93 cm depth x 100 cm height, seat height 43 cm, arm height 62 cm. Weight: 32 kg. Max load: 150 kg. Assembly: fully assembled; legs are attached. Care: professional leather cleaning recommended; condition leather every 6-12 months with a lanolin-based conditioner. Warranty: lifetime on frame, 5 years on springs, 2 years on leather. This chair is a statement piece for a library, study, or formal living room.
