House of Ellory
Wychmere Settee
The Wychmere Settee is an extraordinary expression of architectural upholstery, where sculptural form, exceptional tailoring, and richly contrasting materials come together in a distinctive four-sided seating composition.
Rising from a generously proportioned circular seat, four gracefully arched backrests create a dramatic central silhouette. Deep, individually tailored vertical channels accentuate their sweeping contours, while fine antique-brass detailing traces the curves with understated precision.
The expansive upholstered seating is softly crowned and carefully tailored, with refined piping that follows the continuous rounded profile. Beneath, a substantial foundation finished in richly figured dark espresso walnut burl introduces the warmth and individuality of natural timber. Discreet antique-brass feet provide a final architectural detail.
Conceived for exceptional residential and hospitality interiors, Wychmere brings a sense of permanence and occasion to grand entrance halls, private galleries, dressing salons, and sophisticated reception spaces.
Specified with a reinforced hardwood frame, premium velvet upholstery, resilient layered cushioning, and meticulously finished natural walnut burl, the Wychmere is designed to unite visual distinction with lasting comfort.
Offered in three carefully considered upholstery selections—Ivory Velvet, Deep Chocolate Velvet, and Soft Charcoal Velvet—each Wychmere is made to order for House of Ellory.

Individually formed vertical channels with resilient shaped padding and carefully controlled upholstery tension. Reinforced internal supports maintain the sculptural arches and sweeping shoulder profiles.

Genuine natural walnut burl veneer, carefully selected and matched over a dimensionally stable, structurally engineered curved substrate. Finished in a deep espresso tone with a refined, low-sheen satin protective coating.
ANTIQUE-BRASS DETAILING
Fine genuine brass trim, finished in a muted satin antique-brass tone, following the architectural contours of the backrests and seating. Decorative brass components are specified with precision-finished edges and a protective surface treatment appropriate to their application.
