This London chair combines hand-finished rust leather with a simpler Chesterfield front. The Asportabile treatment adds tonal variation, while the cleaner lower outline allows the rolled arms and buttoned back to remain the main decorative elements.
Design, proportions and details
The chair measures 110 cm wide, 90 cm deep and 77 cm high. Compare the frame with the space beside a sofa, and consider whether its smooth-front treatment should match or contrast with other Chesterfield pieces.
The timber structure supports shaped padding beneath the leather. Hand-worked pleats form the arm rolls, while the rust finish is visible across both broad panels and recessed folds without adding a separate patterned covering.
London’s cleaner lower front changes the balance of the chair from a Club model with a buttoned base. The distinction remains visible even when both chairs use a similarly aged leather colour, making design and finish separate comparison points.
The rust treatment creates a coppery warmth across the covering. Compare the arm folds with the smoother cushion area to see how the same Asportabile leather reads over different parts of the upholstered form.
