Hancock & Moore Furniture in Knoxville, Tennessee
Hand-tailored leather seating, built one piece at a time in North Carolina. Come experience the difference at Braden’s—where you can feel the quality of every hand-cut hide and hand-tied spring for yourself.
Four Decades of North Carolina Leather Craftsmanship
Hancock & Moore has been doing things the hard way since 1981—and that’s exactly why their furniture is so good. Founded in Hickory, North Carolina, right in the heart of America’s furniture-making region, they set out to build the finest leather seating in the country. More than four decades later, they’re still at it, still handcrafting every piece in North Carolina, still refusing to cut corners.
What sets Hancock & Moore apart is their commitment to hand labor at every stage. Each hide is evaluated individually by a skilled craftsman who reads the leather’s grain, texture, and natural character before making a single cut. Springs are tied by hand in eight directions. Nailhead trim is placed one piece at a time. Tufting, lacing, burnishing—it’s all done the old-fashioned way, by people who’ve spent years perfecting their craft.
The result is leather furniture that doesn’t just look beautiful on day one—it gets better with age. Premium top-grain hides develop a rich patina over time, and the underlying construction (double-doweled hardwood frames, eight-way hand-tied springs, Qualux cushion cores) means the piece holds up through decades of daily life. This is furniture your kids will fight over someday, and we mean that as a compliment.
The Art of Hand-Tailored Leather
Every Hancock & Moore piece requires days of skilled hand labor. From the moment a hide arrives at their North Carolina workshop to the final inspection, the process is guided by craftsmen—not machines. Here’s what goes into building leather furniture that’s meant to last a lifetime.
Hand-Cut Leather
Hancock & Moore is one of the last manufacturers that still hand-cuts every piece of leather. A skilled craftsman evaluates each hide individually—reading its grain, texture, and natural markings—before placing patterns to get the most beautiful cuts. It’s a painstaking process that machines simply can’t replicate, and it’s a big part of why their leather furniture looks and feels so exceptional.
Eight-Way Hand-Tied Springs
Beneath the leather, every Hancock & Moore seat is supported by eight-way hand-tied coil springs—the gold standard in seating construction. Each coil is individually tied in eight directions to create a unified, responsive support system. Combined with double-doweled hardwood frames and premium Qualux cushion cores, the result is a seat that holds its shape and comfort for decades.
Hand-Applied Details
The finishing touches on a Hancock & Moore piece are where the artistry really shines. Nailhead trim is placed one at a time by hand. Tufting is done by feel, not by machine. Leather edges are hand-laced and burnished to a rich, smooth finish. These are the details that separate handcrafted furniture from everything else—and they’re the details you’ll notice every time you sit down.
