FULLY RESTORED HAND DYED LEATHER WRITERS READING ARMCHAIR WITH FOOTSTOOL

Antiques of London

The leather writer's reading armchair with a footstool exudes a timeless elegance that invites you to sink into its embrace. 

Crafted for both comfort and style, this piece features a robust frame that perfectly supports the plush cushioning, making it an ideal companion for hours spent lost in a good book. The matching footstool enhances the experience, allowing you to fully relax as you indulge in your literary adventures.

What truly sets this armchair apart is its stunning whisky brown colour on the leather. The original colour of the leather has been meticulously stripped back, revealing the natural beauty of the material beneath. 

Utilizing an age-old English traditional technique, artisans have skillfully dyed it to achieve this rich hue. This process not only ensures vibrant color but also preserves the leather's unique texture and patina, while highlighting every nuance and character that comes with time. The result is a beautiful piece that embodies craftsmanship and heritage, making it a perfect addition to any reading nook or study.

Delivery pricing on the listing

The price shown on the listing is just a guide. Please get in touch with us directly to request a quote before buying and not after. 

Deliveries & Collections

Before purchasing an item, please ask us for a quote by sending us your postcode. If you are happy with the quotation, we will schedule it.

The courier that will be delivering your item will require help to unload. The price that will be quoted will always be based on this assumption. If you need two men, the initial quote will change. It usually is £20-40 on top of the original quote. 

If you need an item carried upstairs, the courier charges extra. They charge £10-20 per flight. However, if you have a working elevator and the thing fits inside, then there should be no extra charge.

We prefer that the courier fees be paid by yourself directly to the company; the contract for delivery is between you and the chosen courier.

Alternatively, you can arrange the delivery yourself, or if you would like to collect, you can collect from our warehouse in Pulborough RH20 1DF. 

Worldwide Shipping

We offer to coordinate and schedule deliveries to the rest of the world, all you need to do is send us your Postcode/Zip-code, and we will send you a quote. 

Delivery can take 2-4 weeks within Europe and Air freight for countries outside of the EU; on some rare occasions, it can take slightly longer.

Sea freight delivery can take anywhere between 6-12 weeks.

Caring for your items

Vintage period and original items, such as leather seating, will always have a natural patina in the form of cracking, creasing and wear. 

We recommend regular waxing to ensure no moisture is lost and to keep out of sunlight.

For Hand-Dyed leather items, we don't recommend placing them in direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as they will dry out and fade.

For wood, we recommend regular, thorough cleaning and waxing also.
