Hancock & Moore # 9876-55 Kent Sofa in Tiburon Spa

This customer was thrilled to be able to get her dream sofa in this color, and really didn't expect to even find it available. Hancock and Moore has over 400 leathers to choose from, pretty much every color under the rainbow. This one in Tiburon Spa is a Full Top Grain, Pure Aniline, Pull-up leather from the Milan region of Italy. It shows classic pull-up characteristics of high-low shading in various panels and those are present in any pull-up or pure aniline hide. So many people are used to seeing painted (protected) leathers that when they come across a dyed hide, they are not prepared for the color variations and think it defective, which it is not. This is what REAL leather looks like, embrace and enjoy the shading. Wood finish is Tilden, nail trim is "A".

The Kent sofa itself is (in my opinion) the best sitting of all the classic Chesterfields, its far more comfortable than it may look from the photos. No one tufts like Hancock and Moore, either. Deeper tufts, and better diamond alignments than any other maker available today. Bonus, the seat cushion on this 9876-55 is removable, which is going to help my delivery team greatly when we deliver this up four stories with no elevator on Saturday!

Four story walk-up? Ooof....

Yes, that is why that customer is getting a first stop at 7:30 a.m. in the morning. We are in the middle of an oppressive heat wave in the Washington DC area and we have to get that done before it gets steaming hot. Do the hardest stop first. Four stories high and no elevator will be taxing.

Remember to tip your delivery guys when they are doing hard deliveries like this! They really appreciate it, to them it validates the effort and extra care they put into making sure your delivery gets in your home with no damage. Doesn't have to be a large tip, but preferably more than a bottle of water.
