I found this last week and bought it but I am not sure who made it. I thought it was a H-M or B-Y but I can’t tell.
What is it and what was retail? Any idea of value, it doesn’t need anything and is very comfortable too!
Thanks you for any information!
It’s made by Alexander Taylor and is heavily sun damaged on pull up leather. It has no value in that condition beyond typical garage or estate sale prices for used upholstered chairs.
Wow, ok, I can't find anything on the web regarding Alexander Taylor out of Hickory NC. A local furniture store owner told be it was made by B-Y & the color was intentioly finisher to create an aged appearance. We love the look, I actually chose this over a normal finisher leather. It appears to have the same frame & mechanism as the Hancock Moore chair we own. Thanks for your fast response! It looks like a Hancock & Moore Grant with the same deep tufts and folds/seems so I wasn't sure what we have. Thanks!
it may have been something Bradington Young did at one time, that's a 16-year-old chair so it goes back a long time. The sequence series of number for the hide description on the label is numbered like a B-Y....so could be a project they did for a private label ....that sort of thing. That is a pull-up hide with color damage on the hide to my eye. Either that or a very poor attempt to age a chair.
What is interesting is the address on the tag is the same address as Bradington Young. I also found a mention of Alexander Taylor and Bradington Young being connected back in the early 2000s, and the tag is from 2003. Maybe they were a subsidiary or were bought?

As it turns out, it is a BY and sold through an Interior designer.
Alexander Taylor is a furniture - industrial designer out of
England. The finish was hand done in Hickory as
A design option. I would buy another if I could fine one or two!
