Archive for the ‘3 Piece Suite’ Category

We are now configuring the way that our sitting rooms or lounges are set out largely due to the way that our home entertainment is accessed. Not many have the piano in the room where we gathered round in an evening to entertain ourselves and for years we have relied upon television to do this for us. With the advent of new television systems, cinema style with large screen and surround sound means that the old style three piece suites is out of favour with many.

More and more of us are opting for leather sofas which are versatile and can accommodate the changes in the way we want our rooms to look. The Distinctive Chesterfields Derby range of sofas is just one example. Based on this the Hertford corner leather chesterfield is ideal for customising a corner of a lounge or study, with your entertainment system occupying the opposite wall. The chesterfield units can be made to either fix together permanently, or be pushed together as separate units as shown in our example. These units can be supplied as 1, 2, 3, or 4 seating sofas, with arm on left or right with the opposing end butting up to other items.

Over recent years leather for furniture has gained popularity, common for chesterfields in the 18th century, but later regarded as a luxury. More and more are choosing this durable product when they are looking to buy new furniture for their home or commercial premises.

Our craftsmen can produce a leather finish that is the envy of others and we can cover your Distinctive Chesterfield or Club Chair with an antique style, a premium, or a hand dyed leather in a wide range of colours to suit your individual requirement. With leather you will have furniture, which will with simple care will last a lifetime and beyond, still looking good. Leather is easy to look after, just remove dust with a slightly damp cloth. Keep it at least 30cm away from direct heat sources to prevent it drying out, and remember that just like fabric it’s not immune to the fading effects of sunlight.

We can and do cover our club chairs with fabric at the request of our customers; velvet seems to be a popular choice. As with all our products we make all our club chairs to order, so if you have a particular request, contact us and we are sure that we will be able to meet it.

Few would argue that a chesterfield sofa is not an English classic and it a piece of furniture that has adorned homes and commercial premises for over two hundred years. But as with anything in this and other classifications, buying one today could present one with difficulties, as there is a wide range of quality to be found.

At Distinctive Chesterfields Yorkshire workshops, we produce a range of chesterfield sofas and club chairs, made to the same exacting standards and using similar methods to those of our predecessors. Our craftsmen will bring you fine hand crafted leather chesterfield sofas and club chairs, from our standard range, or made to your individual requirements.

Distinctive Chesterfields are the home of the English chesterfield sofa and we invite you to look through our comprehensive web pages where you will be able to see the full range of products that we offer, the style of leather from which you can choose, and a range of colours for the hand selected hides that cannot be bettered. Contact us and we will be happy to discuss your individual requirement.

We know that it could be difficult to choose from our many offerings of Distinctive Chesterfields, both the sofas and club chairs, which is why we have designed our web pages easy for you to view the full range of our leather furniture.

The easy to navigate web pages will take you through the various stages of our traditional hand making process of a chesterfield sofa, club chair, or one of the stylish office chairs that are in our range. The complete range of leather furniture is on the website and we have designed this to show you all our range from different perspectives to give you a better idea of the type of chesterfield sofa or chair best suited to you.

Naturally the full colour range is shown as well, all there to help you in your choice. With a simple click we can be contacted for any questions or help when we will be delighted to welcome you to our showrooms to see the Distinctive Chesterfields that interest you the most.

Your Distinctive Chesterfield was made with tender care by time served craftsmen and we want it to look as good in the years ahead as it did when it left our workshops. You do not want your leather to dry out prematurely so try not to place it next to hot radiators as an example. Never use abrasive materials as these will damage the finish, nor leave denim on aniline leathers as the colours may well run off and always regularly dust your chesterfield sofa or club chair, reducing the ingress of grime, treating the leather with one of our approved leather clean and feed products.

Naturally your leather will over time age and you will see it form its own patina, a characteristic of quality leather. You may notice colour variance on high traffic surfaces of the chair or sofa creases, and changes in suppleness of the surface leather. Sensible precautions will ensure that your leather sofa or club chair will continue to look good. Avoid studs on jeans and trousers, responsible for more scratches and damage than most others. Spilling wine and other such liquids can be problematic, but blotting the spill with a lint cloth and sponging off with warm water followed by leather feed and clean will minimise the effects.

Take care of your Distinctive Chesterfield and it will give you years of service and continue to look good.

UPDATE: WE NO LONGER SELL THIS ITEM

To celebrate our very latest range of Distinctive Chesterfield furniture we are making this available to our customers at a special price. We are naming this the Carlisle Sofa Range which is a crested style, and we have made this as a flat backed style to enable the sofa to sit snugly against a wall.

Our high standards of manufacture are maintained with the Carlisle Sofa Range all the selected hardwood frames are glued, screwed and doweled for stability and longevity. We have used Pirelli webbing with hand contoured foam, covering this with our specially selected full hides. The normal three styles of leather are finished in most of our colour range, we will be happy to discuss the colours with you if you are not sure, just contact us.

The special offer on the Carlisle consists of a three seater sofa, and two chairs, which can be a low backed or high backed type, or one of each if this is your preference.

Fitting easily into any drawing room or lounge the range of Rutland Leather Furniture will grace any setting, traditional or modern. With beautiful curvy lines the Rutland Leather sofa or club chair has been described as being the “Art Deco” of furniture with a fully buttoned appearance and stiff sprung frame which has extra foam added to give that bit more support.

All our style of leather is available for the Rutland range and whichever of the three that you choose we guarantee it will look just as good. The comprehensive range of colours carefully applied by our time served leather craftsmen can be chosen for the Rutland range, but darker colours seem to be the most popular choice for these sofas and club chairs, complimenting their good looks. Matching Chesterfield footstools are included in the Rutland range adding to the natural comfort of these delightful pieces.

We at Distinctive Chesterfields are rightly proud of the range of products that we make safe in the knowledge that all the pieces that are produced in our workshops receive exactly the same meticulous attention to detail.

All our many Chesterfield sofas, club chairs and footstools start with the all important frame, constructed only from selected hardwoods, and carefully formed by hand, using dowels, screws, and corner blocks for added strength. This handmade frame is checked in detail and sent to our polishing shop when several coats of polish are hand applied to parts that will be exposed such as feet for instance. We now pad the sofa or chair and it then takes on its “Distinctive” shape.

Perhaps the thing that makes a Distinctive Chesterfield really stand out is the quality leather upholstery that is selected and applied to the product, which can take up to three days to complete. Finally we apply the buttons or studs individually applied by hand and then 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.

When you buy a Distinctive Chesterfield, you are buying a Hand Built, Hand crafted piece of fine English furniture.

When you see sofas and three piece suites advertised in the newspapers and television at around £1500, it would be natural to think that a three piece suite, in classic leather finish, hand made by time served craftsmen all under one roof in Yorkshire would cost double that amount. That would be entirely natural. However, you would be wrong in this assumption because at Distinctive Chesterfields, for a limited period only, you can buy this for just £1399.

The three piece suite is made from full hide leather and comprises a three seat Chesterfield sofa and two chairs in either high back, or low back, but if you prefer you can choose one of each. These are with a buttoned or a cushioned seat and along with the sofa, all made to our high exacting standards. The hardwood frames are glued and dowelled, sprung in zigzag style with hand contoured foam all covered in full hide quality leather which is available in most of our colour range. Call us on 01484 663294 when we will be happy to discuss this limited offer with you.
