The Mayfair floats deep-buttoned black hide on a curved band of polished brass: the members' club, distilled.
Gold worn like jewellery, never like a costume. Commissioned in your choice of thirty hides.
Top-grain hide is cut and built by hand, so allow roughly ±2cm.
Hide sourced from Australia, Brazil and Argentina, hand-cut and set over a kiln-dried hardwood frame. The same leather covers every surface of the piece, front and back. Built to patina and to last.
The frame. Solid hardwood, mortise-and-tenon joints with corner blocks, kiln-dried to 8 to 12 per cent moisture before a single cut.
Seat suspension. Serpentine sinuous springs across the seat base, over a non-woven fabric support, under high-resilience seat foam at 35 to 40kg per cubic metre. It is the arrangement that keeps a seat stable and holds its shape over years rather than seasons.
3-year warranty on every piece, covering the frame and workmanship.
Commissioned to order, approximately 12 to 14 weeks to build. Delivered Australia-wide.
Who is Rumpus?
Rumpus is the leather-furniture house of A Man & His Cave, an Australian business established in 2020. Six years on, we design and commission top-grain leather lounges and chairs, built to order and backed by Australian support experts who know this range inside out.
Is my piece covered by warranty?
Yes. Every Rumpus piece carries a 3-year warranty covering the frame and workmanship.
Can I get a custom size?
Catalogue pieces are built on fixed tooling, so the dimensions listed are the dimensions of the piece. A custom size is a one-off design build with a design fee from $800, priced per piece. Call us on +61 2 7248 6718 for an exact number.
Are these made to order?
Yes. Each piece is commissioned in the hide you choose and built for your room, roughly 12 to 14 weeks from order.
Can I see the leather before I buy?
Book a call and a specialist will walk you through how each hide looks and wears, and can send photographs of the exact leather in natural light.
Where do you deliver?
Australia-wide. Pop your postcode into the delivery estimate above for a rate on this piece.
How do I care for top-grain leather?
Wipe with a dry cloth, condition it every few months and keep it out of direct sun. Top-grain hide is meant to patina and only gets better with age.
Top-grain hide on a hardwood frame. Seams stitched by hand, brass set one stud at a time, then oiled back to a sheen.
Nothing about it is quick. That is rather the point.

Delighted with it. The buttoning is all done by hand and it shows. A retirement present to ourselves and worth every dollar. The buttoning does collect crumbs, you need the vacuum nozzle now and then.

Excellent chair. The brass will patina over time and go duller — I like that, but if you want it to stay bright you'll be polishing it. Nobody mentioned this to me.

genuinely impressed. the two blokes who brought it in were polite and quick
The brass is limited to the stud line and the foot caps, which is the correct amount. I've seen versions of this look where the brass is everywhere and it tips into gaudy. This doesn't. In a room with dark walls and a brass floor lamp it's exactly right.
Exactly what my wife and I wanted. Money well spent.
Very good buy. The studs are set flush, no rough edges. It is in the front room and it anchors the whole space. Delivery was on the day they said.
Exactly what we wanted. The tufting is even right across the back. Got it for dad's 70th and he was speechless, which never happens.
Stunning. It's the chair everyone photographs when they come over.
Sophisticated is the word. It elevated the whole room and it was the cheapest thing I bought in the renovation.
Really lovely piece. The stitching is straight the whole way round.
Chuffed with it. It has softened beautifully over the first couple of months.
Exactly what we wanted. It has that proper club look without feeling stuffy. We got it for the holiday house and it has taken a season of guests. Bought it for my husband and he has not sat anywhere else since.
Very beautiful chair, the black and gold together look very luxury. Quality is very good. Thank you for the fast reply to my questions.
Really happy with it. The proportions are right, it does not look bulky for its size. It replaced a fabric one that had gone shapeless. The twelve week wait is real, but they were upfront about it.
A lovely thing. Went in the rumpus room, which felt appropriate. The two blokes who brought it in were polite and quick. Cannot fault it.
Rapt with it. It is heavy in the way good furniture is heavy. Bought it for my wife and she has claimed it entirely.
really happy with it. it replaced a fabric one that had gone shapeless
Absolutely thrilled. It is by the fire and that corner is now the best seat in the house. The twelve week wait is real, but they were upfront about it. I compared this against the big chains before ordering and there is not much at the price that competes on hide quality.
No complaints at all. The studs are set flush, no rough edges.
Very handsome chair. The brass studs are polished nicely and set flush, no rough edges anywhere.
really lovely piece. it has that proper club look without feeling stuffy. the two blokes who brought it in were polite and quick. would buy again
No complaints at all. You can knock the frame and hear that it is hardwood.
Sharp looking chair, solid build. Very happy.
So glad my wife and I went with this one. The frame does not move at all when you get in and out. They took the packaging away with them, which not everyone does. Waited a bit over three months and it was worth it. Do it.
Ten out of ten from us. It replaced a fabric one that had gone shapeless. It is in our Airbnb and has survived a hundred guests. No regrets.
Very pleased. The studs are set flush, no rough edges. Went in without a scratch on the walls, which given the size deserves a mention.
Worth every cent. Waited a bit over three months and it was worth it.
very good buy. the feet are solid timber, not plastic caps. they took the packaging away with them, which not everyone does. the lead time is long, plan for it. very happy
Best furniture purchase my wife and I have made. It feels like it was built by someone who cared. It is in the front room and it anchors the whole space. Waited a bit over three months and it was worth it. Nothing to complain about.
Chuffed with it... The tufting is even right across the back... Sits in the study and it is where I end up every night... The twelve week wait is real, but they were upfront about it... Very pleased with the whole thing.
Rapt with it. The buttoning is all done by hand and it shows. Cannot fault it.
Worth every cent. Bought a pair for the barber shop, clients ask about them constantly. Delivery was on the day they said. Took about thirteen weeks, which is what they quoted.
Better than I expected. The buttoning is all done by hand and it shows. The lead time is long, plan for it. It is a firm sit for the first month or two.
Very good buy. The arms are properly rolled, not squared off like the cheap ones. We put it in the media room and nobody sits anywhere else now. Bought it for my husband and he has not sat anywhere else since. Delivery was on the day they said.
A lovely thing. It has that proper club look without feeling stuffy. Took about thirteen weeks, which is what they quoted.
Could not be happier. The twelve week wait is real, but they were upfront about it.
A lovely thing. The tufting is even right across the back. The lead time is long, plan for it. Would recommend.
so glad we went with this one. the tufting is even right across the back. we replaced a ten year old lounge and the difference is night and day
Rapt with it. We replaced a ten year old lounge and the difference is night and day. The rolled arms take up more width than you would think.
Absolutely thrilled. It is the first sofa we have owned that looks better than the day it arrived. They took the packaging away with them, which not everyone does. Would buy again.
