Grand Chapeau de Gendarme Leather Club Chair

The Grand Chapeau de Gendarme Club Chair: An Artisanal Masterpiece

The Grand Chapeau de Gendarme club chair is more than just a piece of furniture—it’s a work of art. Inspired by the bicorne, the iconic hat of gendarmes during Napoleon I’s era, this chair combines elegance, comfort, and character. With its sheepskin leather upholstery and meticulous handcrafted design, it stands as a timeless and central piece of your interior decor.

An Iconic and Refined Silhouette

The distinctive design of the backrest, reminiscent of the gendarme’s hat, gives this chair a unique charm. This shape exudes a majestic aura while evoking a sense of vintage elegance. The wide, generously curved armrests, shaped like a “P,” add an inviting and warm touch to the overall design. This blend of character and coziness makes this chair a centerpiece that draws attention while inviting relaxation.

Sheepskin Leather: A Noble and Durable Material

The Grand Chapeau de Gendarme club chair is entirely upholstered in full-grain sheepskin leather, known for its thickness and durability. This premium leather is carefully selected for its ability to remain supple and elegant over time. Its soft and silky touch ensures optimal comfort with every use.

Over time, the sheepskin leather develops a unique patina that tells the story of the chair and its owner. For those who prefer an immediate aged effect, our artisans can apply a special patina to recreate the warm, authentic look of aged leather. Alternatively, we can leave the leather natural, allowing it to evolve and transform beautifully over the years.

Handcrafted Excellence and Refined Finishes

Each Grand Chapeau de Gendarme club chair is handmade, following the time-honored traditions of upholsterers and cabinetmakers from the last century. The backrest is secured using upholstery nails, a hallmark of authentic club chairs. These nails not only serve a functional purpose but also add an elegant touch, enhancing the chair’s retro aesthetic.

The frame and legs are crafted from solid beech wood, a material renowned for its strength and durability. Before assembly, the wood is kiln-dried to ensure its stability and longevity. This artisanal expertise ensures that each chair is a unique piece, designed to last for generations.

Customizable Comfort to Suit Your Needs

In addition to its elegant design, the Grand Chapeau de Gendarme club chair is designed to offer exceptional comfort. You can choose from three levels of seat firmness: soft, medium, or firm. This flexibility allows you to tailor the chair to your preferences and body type.

For even greater comfort, optional seat suspensions can be added. These provide additional suppleness, making every moment spent in this chair even more enjoyable. Once your options are selected, a complete waxing is applied to protect the leather and give it a soft, glossy finish.
