There is a quiet confidence to the Pearson-Style Armchair that only the best-made things possess. Inspired by the classic French bergère, its carved mango wood frame — with its arched back, fluted legs, scrolled arm rests and delicate shell motifs — is the kind of craftsmanship that takes years to master and a lifetime to appreciate. The frame is finished in a beautifully weathered grey-brown that gives it the patina of a genuine antique.

The upholstery is a handloomed blue and white pinstripe cotton, woven in India with the kind of texture and character that only comes from being made by hand. The fine ticking stripe is crisp and timeless — equally at home in a Provençal farmhouse, a Hamptons beach house or a contemporary London flat. Finished with a row of small upholstery studs along the frame edge, every detail has been considered. This is a chair that will anchor a room for decades.
