Leather Chesterfields

Distinctive Chesterfields Ltd. has a long spanning history of experience within the leather chesterfields market, and this experience tends to show in small ways. For example, we have recently been commissioned by one of the most renowned art dealers in the country, to produce a small collection of pieces of leather chesterfield furniture, unique to them, to resell. We chose a base design, decided on the leather to be used, settled on an extended beech frame which is triple dowelled for strength and rigidity, and have had special brass castors custom made as a one off. These leather chesterfields are going to be something special, and the ability to guide the customer and merge their initial requirements with our many years of experience is what we believe, seperates us from the competition. Leather Chesterfields are what we do and we do them well.

THESE SITES ARE NOT IN ANY WAY AFFILIATED WITH DISTINCTIVE CHESTERFIELDS LTD.

They have in fact been been launched by an industry competitor, GEORGE MAXWELL UK LTD, in the hopes of misleading unaware customers into thinking that the two companies are one and the same. The sites are trading off the brand name that we have built up, and we are currently seeking legal advice about further action that we can take. We have also noticed that other companies in this industry have also be targeted in  the same way.

ONCE AGAIN, WE ARE NOT AFFILIATED WITH THIS COMPANY IN ANY WAY.

Chesterfield Suites

Funnily enough, over the last couple of months, we at Distinctive Chesterfields have been getting many requests for package deals on chesterfield suites, mostly antique red, antique brown, and antique green chesterfields and queen anne style chairs.

So we are currently offering a small range of chesterfield suites to cater for this which will be available to purchase over the phone and via the website.

These are still made with real leather, and constructed in England using a hardwood frame (no cheap imports here!) but because we are producing so many units, the prices are very attractive!

chesterfield sofas

We are in the midst of a home styling revolution in the UK at the moment. The days of the reclining obnoxoius corner unit  which is too big for the living room are over. The Chesterfield Sofa, in its many guises, is the new focal point of choice for the discerning home furnisher, being stylish, classic, and yet extremely practical.

No wonder then, that sales of this style of classic leather furniture are at an all time high!

fabric chesterfield sofa

Currently in the development stages at Distinctive at the moment, is the new summer collection of traditional chesterfields and sofas- many of which will be covered in fabric as opposed to leather. This traditionally low volume market has been recently revived- a velvet or floral print chesterfield now being something requested frequently.

The options will include formal backed sofas or options of scatter back cushions for that more squishy, homely look, a couple of new fabric pattern options which are sure to provoke interest, and  a range of arm styles, from the traditional and curvy, to the more unique and square.

I will endeavor to give you all a sneak peek at a few models over the next few weeks.

Chesterfield Couch, Sofa, or Settee?

Which term is most used today?

The reason i ask is that Distinctive Chesterfields deal with customers on a worldwide basis and as i am currently trying to add some content to the site, i would like to know which phrase to use.

Chesterfield Sofa has long been the favourite in the UK as far as i am aware, but recently, i have people calling and enquiring about Chesterfield Settees. And to make things worse, its seems that USA or Export / Import buyers prefer the terms Chesterfield Couch.

Answers on a post card please!

Chesterfields in Netherlands and Scandinavia

Lately at Distinctive Chesterfields, we seem to have been exporting more chesterfield sofas than selling in the UK. Over the past five weeks, we’ve sent items to Sweden, Finland, Denmark, 3 to Norway!, Holland, and Belgium!!

Not that i’m complaining of course- and the thing that amazes me most is how cost effictively we can get it transported.

What is even more unusual is that most of the suites have been in antique leather- as opposed to our premium aniline leathers which are our usual top sellers!

Bespoke Chesterfield ?- no problem!

Fancy a chesterfield sofa but need custom or bespoke finishes or sizes?

Talk to distinctive chesterfields!

We are experts in Bespoke and Custom work- in fact over 30% of our business is made up of non- standard orders.

Some recent projects we have undertaken include a 15ft Lime green chesterfield ( above) , a double corner unit in hand finished ivory leather, and a suite consisting of a distressed black wessex sofa and two Queen anne wing chairs.

Chesterfield Furniture- style over comfort?

As all of you are doubtless aware, the Chesterfield settee has long been a symbol of classic English style, common placements being anywhere from the corner of a bedroom, to the halls of Buckingham palace. But, in these modern times where life is more about comfort rather than formality, is the Chesterfield too much of a compromise for modern living?

Certainly not- is the answer given by Steve Laidlaw, Director of Distinctive Chesterfields Ltd, a supplier of high quality chesterfield furniture. The question should really be ‘which style suits my needs best?’

There are three basic styles to make your decision from- the Queen Anne, a high back, formal seat. The Buttoned or Tufted Base, a highly sprung low back with a firm, though comfortable seat. And the Cushioned Base, the softest of the bunch, and more suited to laying and lounging.

Further to this, you can also select different fillings in the cushions, different rates of spring on the back, even different arm heights and depths.

So, in conclusion, the question is not whether the Chesterfield is comfortable enough to be useable, but more what do you want out of your settee.
