About Chesterfield Suites

The chesterfield range is a unique range indeed, handmade in England using only the finest leathers and hardwood frames.
The standard range of leather Chesterfield furniture includes 3 piece suites, settees, sofas, high back chairs, footstools and much more. There is also bespoke Chesterfield furniture where only the most hardwearing production techniques, time served furniture-making methods and a complete knowledge of the Chesterfield furniture style will do.

There are many types of chair and suite the chesterfield range covers.

The club chair or original chesterfield chair is more synonymous with the members club or golf club, home study, or officers mess. The name club chair originaly comes from from the nineteenth century London gentlemans clubs, where the chair was, at the time, almost exclusively seen.
The high quality chesterfield Wing Chair, is a symbol of English heritage and will likely be found in any stately home or manor house in the home counties of England.

There are many more styles of chesterfield furniture and it can truly be said that a luxurious chesterfield is likely to be found in any setting where antique luxury is the theme. Every new chesterfield goes through the antiquing process to finish the quality look. An antiqued piece of leather furniture gives the appearance of an old sofa but with the benefit of being a brand new piece. This process was pioneered in England in the UK many years ago.

The process of creating a new chesterfield and then making it appear to be an original, traditional sofa is known as antiquing. An antiqued piece of leather furniture gives the appearance of an old sofa but with the benefit of being a brand new piece. This process was pioneered in England in the UK many years ago.

All Chesterfield suites, sofas and chairs are available in whatever colour or leather you choose.
A bespoke service is also available, so if you want a leather chesterfield sofa or suite that is something out of the ordinary and completely unique.

All Chesterfield sofas, settees and chairs are hand-built by time-served craftsmen in a traditional workshop, using only the finest quality leathers, woods and fabrics to produce the highest quality sofas and suites found around the world today.

The starting point for any Chesterfield or Club Chair is the frame. This is constructed of only the finest hardwoods, selected for strength and longevity. The Chesterfield frame components are hand formed, by time served craftsmen, to give us the ready components. These components are then assembled by hand, using dowels, screws, and corner blocks for added strength. Once the Chesterfield frame has been fully assembled, it is then quality checked for squareness and shape. The frame is then passed to the polisher to apply the next process.

In addition to manufacturing chairs, sofas and stools in the chesterfield style, our team specialise in producing tufted (deep buttoned) furniture of all shapes and sizes. For trade customers requiring more than 5 items, our service includes:

• Design consultancy
• Materials consultancy
• Design assist (for pre-created designs)
• Product design
• Furniture manufacture

The final stage in the production of your Chesterfield or Club Chair is the finish. This stage involves the buttoning and studding of the piece. Unlike many other manufacturers, Distinctive Chesterfields still use traditional methods. We use individual studs on each piece we create- approximately 300 -1200 per item! The whole piece is then buffed or rubbed off- depending on the selected leather finish and then sealed so as to protect the look achieved.
