Description
The Viscount William 3-seater sofa is a true Timothy Oulton classic, looking comfortably at home everywhere from modern loft apartments to more traditionally-styled interiors. Its strong, rectilinear shape of the Viscount William is softened with the elegant detailing of hand-applied finishing studs on each arm. An enduring, timeless design upholstered in rich and lustrous Old Saddle Nut Leather.
Our Stylist Says
The Viscount William sofa has a classic, refined look thanks to its rich Old Saddle Leather, which adds warmth and character to any space. I love how it pairs effortlessly with both traditional and contemporary interiors, making it quite versatile. For styling tips, consider mixing it with textured cushions and throws to soften its leather finish, or complement it with neutral tones and wooden accents for a cosy yet sophisticated vibe. It works particularly well in living rooms aiming for an inviting, timeless feel, and its sturdy construction makes it practical for everyday use. Just keep in mind that leather benefits from regular care to maintain its ageing patina, which only enhances its charm over time.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
