Are you getting aches and pains from sitting in a uncomfortable chair at work look no further we are the answer!

We have a range of leather study chairs that are really comfortable and give you support where it is needed, We make all our chairs by hand and they look great.

My personal favourite is the Radcliffe Study Chair, an open sided chair with a fully buttoned back and leather capped arms.

There are four to choose from but again we are looking to increase this soon, so keep checking our website for the new deals available.

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 best way to relax following a hard day at work or coping with children or family is to put ones feet up! Leather footstools have been around in this country since chairs and seats were first made, although they were unlikely to take the form of today’s classic products that can be found at Distinctive Chesterfields web pages.

As with all of their products, the Distinctive Chesterfield footstool is hand made, by time served craftsmen, using the same skills that they would for a leather chesterfield sofa. All the range of colours that are used for sofas and club chairs are available, and three styles of leather choice can be used. Distinctive Chesterfields have 5 types of footstool on offer including the delightful De Luxe Queen Anne.

Choosing the style of leather finish for your new Distinctive Chesterfield sofa or club chair is entirely a personal matter, it is your Chesterfield and as such the leather finish and colour is how you want it to look.

As satisfied customers will testify, there are three distinctive style of leather finish, antique leather, premium leather and hand dyed leather. Each one of these has its own characteristic and which one you may choose will depend upon where the sofa or club chair is to be put as well as the type of furniture, if any that is currently in the room.

Antique Leather is our standard leather, fine in quality and available in ten different colours. Premium Leather gives that something more for your sofa or club chair and it may well be the one that suits you. These leathers are pre-treated with a special blend of natural finishing products, as a result they give great contrast to any piece of furniture. Hand Dyed Leather is the ultimate in leather finishing and the hand dyed range adds an element of total individuality to your furniture.

This really is the original that may have been seen in some of the country houses that you and your family have visited. The wing back chair sometimes known as a library chair can date its origins back to a time when houses were heated by open fires. The occupants drew them up to the fireplace, the high back or ‘wings’ protected the user from the draughts that have always been associated with this type of heating.

The Queen Anne Wing Chair is an iconic symbol and is the original high backed chair. Featuring high contoured legs, firm buttoned back, and sculpted foam cushion, combined with a fully studded facing, this chair has a very regal appearance as its name suggests. The full range of colours is available for this wing chair and can be covered with any of the three styles of leather finish we offer.

When you buy a new piece of leather furniture you want it to look bright and colourful, but if your room has an antique look and feel and you have period pieces of furniture in the room, your leather chair or sofa could look completely out of character. At Distinctive Chesterfields we have the answer to this dilemma; we will “antique” your chesterfield sofa or club chair for you.

The first thing that we do is to make your piece to meet all our normal requirements to the very highest standards that is found anywhere and then we would begin the process that gives your leather sofa and chair an antique look. The leather is then blacked with a special treatment which makes the whole of the hide appear very dark, in fact almost black; the frame is also treated in this way. When our craftsman is completely satisfied, special treatment follows and the appearance is lightened to give it a genuine antique look. The whole process is completed by sealing it to ensure that the effect is not lost in time. Your new “antique” distinctive chesterfield will blend into its new surroundings comfortably.

When people see the Rutland chesterfield for the first time they describe it as curvy in shape with flowing lines and above so comfortable that you simply do not want to get out of it, why should you? The Rutland is very reminiscent of the era that produced the delightful “Art Deco” period of furnishing and art; we could not disagree with this thought!

Coming with a fully buttoned finish with a stiff sprung frame and extra foaming to give excellent support, yet supreme comfort for the user, the Rutland leather sofa is made for you in two, three and four seater styles, available with your choice of club chair as well as footstools of your choice in all styles of leather and choice of colours.

For sheer style and classic looks the Scott Leather Club Chair would be hard to better and coming as it does in the full range of colours and the three leather finishes available at Distinctive Chesterfields, the range of options that you have with this wing chair makes it about the best to be seen.

Naturally the frame is hand made from selected hardwood and with fully buttoned back and mahogany feet the detailed studding completes this classy chair. Options of a buttoned arm and wing is something which can be added if required and although it will look good in any leather colour, the Scott club chair suits premium leather buckskin.

You really will have to hurry if you want to buy a Derby. This fabulous three piece leather suite if you want it for Christmas, but more importantly, the offer is restricted and when the stock has gone it is really has gone.

The Derby is one of our most popular items of leather furniture and this offer consists of a 3 seat sofa, Club Chair, and High Back Queen Anne Chair. The Derby is based on what is regarded as a classic chesterfield shape, suggested as being reminiscent of sofas from the turn of the century. With a stiff hand sprung and buttoned base and back, built on to a solid beech frame, hand made to our high standard. This is the chance of a lifetime and should not be missed.
