Well, where to begin! This suite is the absolutely finest quality available today, they have beech and oak frames that has horse hair, fibre and feather padding, the back is fully upholstered so there are no loose cushions, it has a deeper than normal seat platform and the seat cushions are overstuffed with down feathers.

The upholstery is the world famous and highly coveted William Morris Forest Linen, this is the highest grade of this type fabric, it is very tricky to find and is usually on back order for 3-6 months much the same with the sofa and armchair frames which is a 12-24 week order time

The suite has been professionally upholstered with very close attention being paid to the pattern repeat, if you look closely at the seat cushion you will see the fabric flows from the back rest to the top of the cushion to the front panel and on down to the bottom platform of the sofa and armchairs, and the same from left to right as well on the sofa which is insanely complicated for an upholsterer to achieve and uses a great deal more fabric than not pattern matching
