Hi guys,

Have you seen he Big Brother diary room chair? I think it looks fab.

This is just another illustration of Period Furniture coming back into fashion, many people are fed up with buying furniture from well known companies and not getting good quality results. People are finding that rather than a Sofa or Chair lasting 10 to 20 Years it is lasting maybe 2 or 3 due to poor workman ship and corners being cut.

This particular Chair has been brought in to the year 2009 and given a revamp with the patchwork finish.

With Period Furniture and Chesterfield Chairs / Chairs you  get what you pay for… good quality furniture with lots of life in.

Browse through our range and choose your new suite now, we guarantee good quality furniture at the right price.

Call now or check out the website for the fantastic offers.

We have three different types of leather that we use to upholster our Chesterfield Sofas.

Just to make our customers aware of the changes in leathers:

Our Newcastle Leather Range is a high end Leather, hand buffed and full analined, (dyed all the way through). The Newcastle range has a big pull up effect which means when the Leather is worked on a Chesterfield Sofa the colour of the Leather lightens in certain areas and can become a shade or two lighter.

Some of the Leathers in our Premium Range can do this as well the colours are:

• Premium Gamay
• Alga
• Smoke
• Bruciato
• Saddle
• Buckskin
• Chestnut
• Burgundy; and
• Dark Brown

We have many customers and non-customers ring and enquire how to clean their Chesterfield sofa.

We suggest to try and wipe it over with a damp warm soft cloth every week as this should help your Chesterfield to look its best at all times.

We also suggest a cream cleaner once or twice a year, you can buy these now from Distinctive Chesterfields at a reasonable price of £29.95.

Have you had chance to look at our website???

We have customers call to find out ‘What is the difference between our leather‘, well I will give you a few pointers of each of the leather ranges we use.

Antique Leather

Better known as rub off leathers, these have been buffed and corrected to remove imperfections and embossed with a traditional print. Then the top coat can be removed to reveal its base coat for a two tone effect. We tend to do this on the high points of a chesterfield sofa or club chair, to give it the aged look.

Premium Leather

In total we have 19 colours in this range and they are all pull up leathers, they have a slight distressed finish. Some of the leathers in the range are lightly brushed with beeswax to give a pleasent matt apperance and some with a blend of oils and waxes to give a buff effect.

Hand dyed Leather

This is the most prestigous range we offer, the Newcastle colours are very smooth, full grain leathers finished with a blend of oils to acheive a pull up effect and a glossy finish. These leathers create a classic ‘Old Saddle’ apperence. Healed scars, scratches, neck and belly wrinkles will be apparent throughout these hides. They are  pure aniline leathers and so hides will fade in prolonged sunlight. The other four colours in this range Oak, Ebony, Chestnut and Walnut are vegatable tanned in a traditional way and is of the highest quality. Aniline dyed and hand padded to give a unique finish.

All the leathers we use for are products are good quality leathers and come from well known British tannerys and have been regarded by professionals and desingers as the benchmark for the industry.

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.
