LEATHER TRICORN

Matthew Burt

£1925

A three-legged chair that actually works and doesn’t throw the unwary to the floor. These chairs are sculpted to fit the body and are both robust and comfortable. They look as good from the back as they do from the front or side, as lovely around a table as they are against a wall as side chairs. Available in a solid back/seat version, a café version, with the front legs tucked under the seat, and a leather version. The seating area on all versions is the same. All finished in oil. Leather : we collaborate with leather workers MacGregor Michael for the backs and seats. The hand-stitched leath

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as MATTHEW BURT LIMITED, number 07551359. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
