Luxury and High Quality Leather Sofas

When it comes to luxury furniture, nothing quite has the same impact as a well crafted chesterfield.

It is a unique range, handmade in England using only the finest leathers and hardwood frames.
The standard range of leather Chesterfield furniture includes 3 piece suites, settees, sofas, high back chairs, footstools and much more. There is also bespoke Chesterfield furniture where only the most hardwearing production techniques, time served furniture-making methods and a complete knowledge of the Chesterfield furniture style will do.

The most common form of chesterfield is the leather sofa.

There are many more styles of chesterfield furniture and it can truly be said that a luxurious chesterfield is likely to be found in any setting where antique luxury is the theme. Every new chesterfield goes through the antiquing process to finish the quality look. An antiqued piece of leather furniture gives the appearance of an old sofa but with the benefit of being a brand new piece. This process was pioneered in England in the UK many years ago.

Antique leather furniture

The process of creating a new chesterfield and then making it appear to be an original, traditional sofa is known as antiquing. An antiqued piece of leather furniture gives the appearance of an old sofa but with the benefit of being a brand new piece. This process was pioneered in England in the UK many years ago and is stll used by the best suppliers to ensure the final result is as good as can be.

The chesterfield sofa is first crafted, sprung and wadded by hand, to give a superior, long lasting shape.

Then the leather which is to be applied to the furniture is put through the first of stage of antiquing. It is blacked with a special treatment which makes the whole of the hide appear very dark, in fact almost black and this is then applied by hand to the frame of the chair and the finishing process begins.

Once all finishing has been done the next stage in the process of making your traditional chesterfield appear to be an antique piece of furniture is the rub-off. In this stage, the leather is rubbed lightly by a professional leather worker with a special solution to reveal the lighter colour below. This is done in such a way as to replicate the look of a traditional, antique leather chesterfield or chair.

Once this painstaking process if finished, the final step is to seal the leather. This is done so the antiqued leather settee does not lose its effect over time by becoming too light. Chesterfield leather sofas are a genuine piece of excellence that add a touch of quality to any room and will look amazing and authentic for many years to come.

Due to this process, as detailed above, there is finally a viable alternative to having an old chesterfield settee or wing chair in your home.
