There is something about one of the Distinctive Chesterfield Club Chairs that say that I am special and extremely comfortable. This classic piece of leather furniture is synonymous with London Gentleman’s clubs, five star hotel receptions and embassies throughout the world. There are many styles of club chair to be seen at the Distinctive Chesterfields showroom from which you can choose.

A firm favourite is the Derby Chesterfield which is based on the classic chesterfield shape reminiscent of a sofa at the turn of the nineteenth century. The Derby has a hand sprung buttoned based back fitted to a hand crafted solid hardwood frame constructed from beech, all screwed and doweled in common with all Distinctive Chesterfield furniture products. The Derby club chair can be finished in the three distinctive styles of leather with the full range of colours offered.

Should the Derby not fit into your style of home, or you prefer something which is more modern looking, Distinctive Chesterfield, with a total of fifteen differing club chairs, will have something that meets your requirements.
