A great leather armchair seems like the kind of thing that’s easier to inherit than to find new on the market. When looking for that perfect, deep-seated club chair, we turn to the English, who put the same care into leather seating as they would a Savile Row suit. Here are our favorite English and English-inspired armchairs (roll arms and tufted leather optional).
