I'm a HUGE fan of the English roll arm style & have been on the hunt for the perfect English roll arm leather chair with the classic brass caster legs, etc for a few years now, but have never quite found that perfect one enough to pull the trigger. There are many versions out there from your basic Wayfair budget options, Pottery Barn, RH, Ethan Allen, all the way up to THE original George Smith of London if you truly want the real McCoy. None I've seen have that just right, unique quality of a traditional English roll arm (except the George Smith, but I'm not spending 5 figures on a chair) to make me throw my arms up & say "ok, I'll take it." It's something small & minor to most people, but not to me: the legs are too wide, too modern looking, no casters, or they're cheap looking, you name it & there's an issue.

However, I've consistently been drawn to H&M's version, the 1942 Bradley chair. I just so happened to be browsing their site today when I noticed they now have another version that's near identical to the Bradley, up to & including the loose back cushion & T seat cushions. It's the 6496-1 Wellesley chair.

So, my question to Duane & anyone else extremely familiar with H&M: what are the differences, if any between these 2 chairs? The Bradley is offered with a matching ottoman, the Wellesley is not. Other than that, are there any other differences?

I'm including pics of both so you can see for yourselves they're VERY similar. I love both...but, honestly my heart is still with the Bradley.
