What might this leather and finish be?

If you zoom in you can see the welt is a little lighter. The pic is better actually on H and M's site with the zoom tool. It looks like this piece has been sitting in the university library for quite a while. I LOVE that warm, cozy, old world library look on this piece but, I'm stumped as to how they did this. The dark areas are like a very deep, deep blackish brown, and the lighter areas are a kind of walnut looking. Just how the piece would age if people had been sitting on it for decades. Well, I just think this is wonderful! And it's so classic. Can be dressed up or down depending on surroundings. When I apply this look on even some of the more modern pieces it adds an old world depth to them. Just LOVE this. Is this welt a totally different color than the rest of the piece? I cannot tell.

The details where this piece is lighter in all the right places on the backs, just at the edges of the arms, and the welt make me wish I could see this piece in person! That deep rich dark brown contrasting with that rubbed look in all the right places is just quite wonderful. Kudos to who ever did this piece for the website advertising.

I'd go for this type of look but, have no idea what to look for when looking at swatches. I am in love with this super dark like deep dark chocolate against the lighter areas. In person I bet this is stunning!

As West End won't fit us we're thinking of going "Member" if it's a really great comfy one i might just head straight for this look. GORGEOUS.
