We look at the joint before the fabric, and the weight before the finish. What's left is a small collection, not a catalog.
Grain · Brass · Weave · Hide
White oak, quarter-sawn where it shows, so the grain runs straight instead of wandering.
Solid brass hardware, left to tarnish rather than lacquered shut. It's meant to age on your watch.
Cotton velvets and wool blends, woven tight enough to resist pilling on the arms first.
Full-grain leather, buttoned by hand. It creases where you sit, which is the point.
How we choose
Most of what's on furniture floors is upholstery over a compromise. We turn pieces over before we take them on, and if the frame doesn't hold up, the fabric doesn't matter.
We check how a frame is joined before we look at what's stretched over it. A mortise and tenon outlasts three sofas' worth of glued corner blocks.
A frame heavy enough to stay put on a rug usually means nobody hollowed it out to save on lumber.
We ask what a fabric looks like at year three, not day one. Boucle pills. Some leathers don't. We test both before we carry either.
