    I like it very much--even the upholstery. I'll bet it's a perfect fit wherever your client put it.

    Thanks very much for posting the whole project.

    Woodwork - A-1
    Ebonized finish = Sweeet
    Leather seat = Sweeeeeet
    "Leopard skin" upholstery = AAAAAKKKK!

    I have a "classic" wingback from the early 30's. Very simple lines and no carving but built like a tank and very comfy. Used to be "Grandpa's chair". I hope to have it redone in burgundy leather one of these days.....
