An Honest Inheritance There's a particular kind of room that has always had a sofa like this in it, long before open-plan, long before anyone called a room a "living space." This o ne belongs to that tradition. The leather is buffalo hide, burnished by hand in the workshops of Jodhpur until the honey tone deepens unevenly across the diamond tufting, each button catching its own small shadow. The arms roll back in the old way, scrolled rather than squared, and brass nailheads trace every edge, along the arms, beneath the seat, around the base. Turned bun feet ground it rather than lift it. Set beneath a Georgian cornice or against panelled walls, it reads as inherited rather than acquired. In a Mayfair drawing room, or a Hampstead study with books stacked two deep, it looks as though it has always been there. Show more
