Whittmore-Sherrill # 299-01 Chair and # 299-00 Ottoman in Sauvage S230 Mocha Leather
The very first of our Whittmore-Sherrill order, excited to get it and now in the store and available. Its a beautiful piece, and the workmanship and tailoring is as fine as anything coming out of Hancock and Moore. I found no flaws on it whatsoever. The hides are great - pure aniline and hand burnished. This chair is going to get compared to the Hancock and Moore Author Chair as well as the Ralph Lauren Write's chair. So let's compare all in similar leathers.
Ralph Lauren Price $ 11,865 (chair only) (do they have sale prices? I don't know)
Hancock and Moore Price $ 4,248 (chair only)
Whittmore Sherrill Price $ 3,058 (chair only)
Of course, the price is the largest factor - and its significant. I don't see any build issue differences and visually the chairs are all the same. I don't have either a RL or HM to sit in for an immediate comparison so to the best of my memory, they sit alike for all practical purposes. The largest difference is in the ottoman, from Hancock and Moore is lower and wider, the Whittmore Sherril is taller and I do like that lower ottoman which is a personal preference. WS ottoman is $ 1,358 vs H&M at $ 1,698.
For the price difference on the combos H&M ($ 5,946) vs WS ($ 4,416) which is $ 1,530, I think the clear winner in that contest is the Whittmore Sherrill, We have this set in the store, come check it out
