The Darwin club chair is a classic which would look at home in most household situations and more and more commercial enterprises such as hotels and offices are putting them into their premises. We are familiar with club chairs seen in television period plays and it is synonymous with historic gentleman’s clubs and of course the British embassies abroad.

Similar to our Suffolk Club Chair, the Darwin Club Chair is a true classic buttoned tub chair sporting a hardwood frame with exposed, polished legs, and a fully buttoned interior and seat. The Darwin leather club chair can be supplied to you in any of the three styles of leather finish that we offer and naturally the full range of colours that we offer can be chosen. Although the choice will be with you, the Darwin style of chair looks at it’s best in either antique black or antique red leather.

The Derby Chesterfield Sofa is what most people think a chesterfield sofa should look like and they would not be wrong. This chesterfield is based upon the classic design and shape of the leather sofa’s that could be seen in many homes around the turn of the previous century.

The Derby is a stiff buttoned base and back and as with all our chesterfield products it is completely hand made, with a solid beech frame, all screwed and dowelled to ensure long lasting quality, in common with all other Distinctive Chesterfield products. With polished mahogany bun feet in three distinctive leather styles and finish, the Derby is available in all our colour range and can be 2, 3 or four seater versions.

The Cumberland club chair is amongst the most distinctive within our range of club chairs and sofas and its design can be seen in some of the world’s finest sitting rooms and government residences. This club chair is the Rolls Royce of club chairs and we are rightly proud of it. Based on our Warwick club chair, the Cumberland has our trademark teardrop arm, with fully buttoned interior. It features solid brass and mahogany castors and a generously sprung base, with all cappings individually nailed with copper studs.

Naturally at Distinctive Chesterfields we offer the full range of colours which are on offer at our web pages and the three distinctive styles of leather, antique, premium and hand dyed can be used on this club chair. Solid brass castors are fitted to the Cumberland and a matching Chesterfield sofa in two, three or four seat versions can be seen at the website.

A handmade leather club chair can be the focal point in any home and few are better looking than the beautiful Buckingham Club Chair from the specialist manufacturer Distinctive Chesterfields. The home of time served craftsman produced leather furniture.

There can be no doubt that the Buckingham club chair is ‘distinctive’ the most notable feature has to be its proud crested back. The front arm is ’slashed’ which adds to the already comfortable chair and accessibility is made easier by this feature. Naturally, the hand applied doubled button border and studding to the facing make a very desirable club chair indeed. The three styles of leather finish and the full range of colours is available on this as with all Distinctive Chesterfield products.

Our Wessex Chesterfield sofa is indeed one of the most sumptuous within our comprehensive range of chesterfield sofas and club chairs. The hand made sustainable hardwood frame is not unique to the Wessex, all our leather furniture products are made to this standard.

The cushions are loose filled and the highly stuffed we finish it off with brass castors, making this chesterfield sofa a classic, giving you just a bit more!

It is not know for sure how the word to describe a leather sofa with buttoning to the back with arms and back of the same height, came into being, nor can we say for certain. Some have suggested that it was the fourth earl of Chesterfield – Phillip Stanhope (1694-1773) who commissioned a piece of Fine Furniture, afterwards known as a Chesterfield sofa. Others suggest it originated in Canada and parts of America to describe a sofa.
