English gentlemen’s clubs that were organized in the 18th and 19th centuries were notorious for having secrets and sacred rules, but one tradition that emerged for all to share is the leather club chair. The name “club chair” evolved from these havens for sociability, drinking, smoking and taking refuge from wives. The Pratt’s Club in London, for example, had a strict rule, that should a woman call on the club, the answer was always to be “Madam, no married member is ever in the club.” (Interestingly, when the founder died in 1860, it was his wife who kept the club going.) The Ray Club Chair, like the comfortable chairs that endured the follies of aristocrats and nobles, is designed with cushions that both envelop and support the body, wrapped in rich leather that will only get softer with time. A refuge after a long day, the Ray Club Chair welcomes you and fits you like a glove, all from the privacy of your own home, where you make the rules and no dues are required. Made in U.S.A.
