This is a Tetrad Bowmore armchair, a well-known British design that’s been around for years because it works. Good proportions, comfortable to sit in, and built in a way that holds up to proper daily use.

It’s upholstered in genuine Harris Tweed, which is hand-woven in the Outer Hebrides and comes with the usual variation you expect from a natural wool fabric. You’ll see small changes in tone and weave across the chair — that’s part of the material, not a fault.

The back is traditionally hand-buttoned using traditional techniques. It’s not just for show — it helps keep the upholstery properly tensioned and stops it from loosening over time.

The seat is supportive rather than soft. It sits properly, doesn’t collapse under you, and feels like something you can use every day without thinking about it. This isn’t a deep, lounging chair — it’s more upright and practical, in keeping with the Bowmore design.

Leather piping runs along the arms and edges, which does two jobs — sharpens the shape visually and protects the fabric on the highest wear points.

Condition-wise, it’s a second-hand piece. There are light signs of use, but nothing out of place for a chair of this type. Structurally sound and ready to go.

A straightforward, usable vintage style armchair with proper British character.

Sustainability

This is a second-hand piece, which is the most practical form of sustainability — keeping good furniture in use rather than replacing it.

Harris Tweed is a natural wool product, and like all wool and leather materials, it comes from the farming industry. Using and reusing these materials helps reduce waste and supports traditional British manufacturing and weaving skills.
