You know those movie scenes that take place in a posh gentlemen’s club, where everyone is sipping fine bourbon and smoking fine cigars while reminiscing about their great grandfather who ruined a young and upcoming fool because of some vague and quite possibly imagined insult? And then a gray-haired English gentleman turns around in a leather arm chair, fingers steepled, and says something like, “Yes, I know the fool of whom you speak. He was my father. Allow me to introduce myself: I am Justice, and I have come at last.”
Okay, that particular scene only took place in my mind, and probably explains why I’m not a screenwriter. But you get the idea. Look at this leather club chair from Vanguard. It just makes me wish I were a gray-haired English gentleman with a message of impending doom. I don’t even think I could sit in it without steepling my fingers and affecting an accent and an evil grin.
My personal problems aside, this chair is really gorgeous. The leather is rich and warm, and looks like you could just sink into it while visiting with friends and other club goers. It would be right at home in a well-decorated home, or in a nice cigar bar or upscale art club. It makes me wish I had a huge study that could justify the purchase of such a cool chair. But really, it belongs with evil overlords who smoke pipes and pull strings that make world leaders dance. Or something.
The leather chair from Vanguard has a classic mahogany finish and brass nails. Its dimensions are 36cm wide, 37cm deep, and 35cm high. I wouldn’t pair it up with contemporary bar tables; carved wooden antiques all the way!
If you do order one of these, please let me know just how fabulous it really is.
