    Default Question about H&M Sofa model

    I recently purchased an H&M sofa long distance from a private party. Decided to go the used route because I have a little one and want to wait till she's older to buy a new sofa. The seller did not know the model or color name. I've looked at H&M's website and can't be sure, definitely, on the model of the sofa. I'd appreciate any ideas on the model or the leather name. Please see pic below.

    Thanks!

    That's a # 1944 Bradley Sofa:

    You've got to take better and larger photos for me to zero in on the leather, however. Make the size about 7" x 5", DPI around 180. Two angles, neither shooting into the sunlight from the window. Preferably not with a cell phone camera and I might be able to figure it out.

    Thanks Duane. Here are a couple of closeup shots.

    Sorry, can't tell in that sunlight glare. Try again in the morning light, and I need to see the inside back or seat cushion so I can see the leather grain and effects!

    These aren't the greatest pics but I think they represent the color quite accurately...

    Sorry, can't tell. You might have Williamsburg Cherry on there, but the photos are just not crisp enough for me to really tell.

    A tip when photographing leather pieces or even fabric ones for that matter, is to place a Quarter on the piece in the framed area. This allows the camera auto-focus on the quarter and you will find the photos to be much sharper as a result. Also, turn the flash off the camera as it bounces too hard on the piece.
