selection of 5 leather club chairs | H is for Home

We’d been on the hunt for a couple of leather club chairs for AGES, knowing that if we were patient we’d come across the perfect pair. We trawled eBay, antique shops and auctions and finally the right ones appeared at our local antiques centre.

A pair of just-the-right-side-of-shabby, chestnut brown club chairs. They’ve found a new home, sitting side by side in front of the wood-burner! Here are a sample we happened across during our quest…

  1. Jazz club chair: £299, MADE
  2. Leather and cowhide armchair: £950, notonthehighstreet
  3. Julian Bowen Vivo chair: £128.01, Amazon
  4. Sinclair club chair: £799, Barker & Stonehouse
  5. Le Corbusier Petit Confort LC2: £335, eBay

Take a seat!

vintage leatherette Art Deco 3-piece suite | H is for Home

We’re super-pleased with this purchase we made on Thursday. We’ve been on the hunt for a club chair for some time…

…then, not only did we get a club chair, we got two club chairs… and a matching 2-seater sofa!

It’s an original 1930s Art Deco suite, re-upholstered in the 1960s in a tan leatherette. Fantastic shape, comfortable with lovely stud detailing.

And a little extra… the lady who sold it says it was re-covered in the same leatherette as was used for Concorde. We’re trying to track down some old photos from the plane or Concorde airport lounge interior.

Fudge approves – and has made himself very much at home!

It’s found a home in our top floor bedroom/lounge. We spent the entire day re-arranging everything to accommodate it.

It was worth it though… there’ll be many books read in these chairs… cups of tea / glasses of wine drunk, crackling fires watched. We love it already!
