The London armchair simplifies the front of the traditional Chesterfield. The absence of studded arm faces and the smoother lower treatment allow the hand-pleated rolls and buttoned back to remain the main decorative features.
Design, proportions and details
Its low club-chair silhouette works differently from a tall wingback model. Compare the seat dimensions and outside width with the intended location, especially if the chair will accompany a sofa with a more elaborate front.
The timber frame and shaped padding create the curved form beneath the covering. Hand-worked pleats define the arms, while the seat cushion supplies a smoother sitting area inside the surrounding buttoned upholstery.
The simpler front gives London fewer competing decorative details around the seat. This can be useful when the covering itself has strong colour variation or when the room already contains ornate furniture. Compare the full chair with those surroundings before choosing the leather or fabric finish.
