Here's a favorite with the K-Street Law Offices in downtown Washington DC. I also put two of these in The White House in 2007 (together with a pair or Rouleau sofas). Excellent sitting chair, and not badly priced. Shown in Antique Oak finish. The Weston Blue appears lighter than it really is due to the bright sunlight when photographing.

Never been a fan of blue leather but I'm liking that chair more than I thought based on the picture on Hancock and Moore's website. How does it sit for someone, oh say about 5' 11"?
Duane, is that your new Porsche making an appearance in the last picture?
I'm 5' 11" and I think it sits very well, though I have to say its sister chair thats going along with it, the Somerset Cane is simply fantastic. Yes, thats my new ride in the background...what a machine it is!

Here are pictures of the Rouleau and Somerset chairs in context--my family room. They just don't do justice to the beautiful leather or the cane on the Somerset. And thanks to Duane for the short span between ordering and delivery. Needless to say, my husband and I are delighted.
Those chairs are truly beautiful. I especially love the Somerset, but I also think the two chairs make a wonderful pair. Thanks for posting the pictures of them in your family room. They look great!
Those are both truly beautiful chairs. Must keep in mind for future needs...
They look great in your home, Lisa! I'm really partial to that Somerset Cane Chair.......and still in shock over how heavy it is. Thanks for your business, always appreciated.

my present den has 2 B & Y reclining chairs in burgandy (wine) leather and we love them . need to replace upholstered sofa which is sagging. I have a window seat in a navy check.. thinking of a navy sofa from H & M.. but which color navy.. navy is tough can look black or very light blue.. or I could go with a camel sofa but I think it will blend in with walls which are a saffron color.. rug is a karastan with all these colors.. blue, wine, camel and light blue.. mahogany furniture.. any suggestions?
The best - and most costly - handsome blue leather in the H&M lineup is Capri Navy. It's a superb leather, but you will pay a price to be in a GR 4. Cavalier Navy or Dark Blue is good at a GR 2 price point. Equestrian has a great blue (GR3) and this is a thicker, saddle-style leather. And of course Weston Navy as you see at the top of this thread as a GR 3.

A while ago I found a swivel chair we liked, which was an H&M on a Town & Country promotional pricing, but we wanted it in Navy. I went through the swatches recommended by the saleperson as a modification for that chair, and, of those, I preferred Cavalier Navy.
But then I decided to look through all the swatches, including the higher priced items, and found I preferred Capri Navy. Enough to spring for the cost difference. My comments to my wife at the time: "It feels wonderful, and looks wonderful. A rich dark blue".
It was really the feel of it that won me over, IIRC.
But we wanted a dark blue. The Westons above are a much lighter blue than mine is.
