This is a picture of our Cambridge Shown in Antique Green.

Well just look at the weather, this is horrendous and all the hype that goes along with it is laughable. My childrens school was closed so I had a great 2 days playing in the snow and building snowmen, NOT!!!!

I would much rather be inside on my settee with my feet up with a nice cup of hot chocolate and watching day time TV.

I have a 3 seat Kent Chesterfield settee and 2 club chairs which are great, I love them they are so comfy, I went for the hand stuffed cushions because I like the softness however for those of you that don’t like this why not try something like a Cumberland settee. A Cumberland settee has a sprung base which give the same support just a firmer sit.

If you would like a look at the sofas we do try logging on to our Chesterfield settee store or give us a call for a brochure on 0044 1484 663294.

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.

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. Following the making of the hardwood frame this is fully sprung to give it that unique feel before we upholster it. 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!

The full range of colours of leather are available for the Wessex and naturally you can choose from antique, premium, or hand dyed leather, but it looks a million dollars in Premium black leather.

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.

Whatever the real truth of the name is, what we do know is that we at Distinctive Chesterfields have a range of leather sofas and club chairs, with matching footstools that covers a wide range of options. We can make these to your personal requirements, longer, higher, wider, the choice is your. With our three styles of leather and an enormous range of colour options, we are confident that there is a leather chesterfield product in our range to suit the most discerning. Your own piece of timeless furniture hand crafted in our Yorkshire workshops.

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.
