Previously leather furniture used to be exorbitantly priced which was not in everyone’s budget but nowadays the leather furniture’s are very much affordable. Furniture’s are available in various sizes and shapes and for different purpose. There are sofas, chairs, footstools. Chesterfield Sofas are available in many ranges and styles. Some of the available chesterfield sofas are the Buckingham Chesterfield sofa, Cumberland chesterfield sofa, derby chesterfield sofa, Hertford chesterfield corner unit and many more.

Chesterfield sofas are the best replacement for rugged sofas. Chesterfield sofas when placed in living room make a good show off. The chesterfield sofas are so attractive that it creates a long lasting impact on the guests that visit your place. You can never imagine that one sofa could create such an impact.

This week at Distinctive Chesterfields, we have been discussing with one of our Prestigous Designer clients in Italy, a new project.

Now as you can see by the picture above, we are no strangers to Big chesterfields, but when during the discussion, our client asked for a one piece 12 metre sofa even i was taken a back!

Yes, you read it correctly, 38 feet of leather chesterfield- over 1000 feet of leather, over 300 feet of solid beech, approx 2600 studs, and over 500 buttons.

Naturally, once replacing my jaw and speaking to our workshop manager, we let them know we would accept the challenge.

So watch this space, and read for updates, about news on what is going to be (to my knowledge) the biggest chesterfield sofa in the world!

If you know something to the contrary let me know…. maybe it would have to be 40 feet!!!!

What is it they say about enquiries being like busses? well in the last 4 days, we have had, wait for it, 9 enquiries about long leather chesterfields. leather chesterfields which have been stretched to gigantic proportions- one which is sooo big it wont fit in the van! have no fear though, we are making it in three parts and bolting it together on site. Now to most people, a 36 foot chesterfield sofa might be a daunting prospect, but here at Distinctive Chesterfields we relish a challenge, and this is certainly going to be one- seeing as it is to go on the 14th floor of a new office development in London City (think ill call in sick that day rather than get roped into carrying it up all those steps!

So why all the long leather chesterfields enquiries?

We have done a few of these in recent months for various clients, who in turn have had various people view them in their environment. They inevitably ask ‘where did you get that from?’ and that leads them to us!

So if you are looking for stretch leather chesterfields, give us a call!

Recently, it seems that every swish party or corporate event i go to has had furniture provided by a furniture hire company. Whats more, this week we have agreed to supply several items, both large and small to corporate furniture hire companies. It seems that all of a sudden, everybody wants to hire a chesterfield for their party or gathering.

What has surprised me though, is that our usual best sellers, the antique greens and antique reds, are not being touched. Yet the Black, White, and Pastille red and blue chesterfields are being snapped up as quickly as we can make them!

So has there been a sudden influx of people wanting to hire chesterfield sofas? or has this market or leather chesterfields for hire just become apparent to us?

Either way, i think it a positive thing for the industry- and as for the white ones… great. This lets people see that a leather chesterfield does not havew to be a traditional, drap item, but a chic, modern piece of furniture. And the best bit? after a week of hiring your chesterfield sofa, you get to send it back, so you dont even have to clean it!!

We are currently putting in place final preperations for the latest edition to our range.

Signature will be a select range of hand crafted and hand coloured pieces, painstakingly put together using age old methods. The range will consist of High Back and Low back/ club chairs, as well as sofas, and some more unusual pieces.

More on this specialist product and the way it is made soon, and keep watching to see the unveiling in the next couple of weeks

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.

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.

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.

Okay, so maybe 90% of the Chesterfields world wide are manufactured in the UK, or more specifically England. Why is this?

In the face of cheap foreign imports, why can this dwarf of an industry keep its head above water doing things the old fashioned way?

Even Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands- not to mention the daddy of them all- the USA cannot seem to get a grasp of this market.

The answer?

When people buy a Chesterfield sofa or suite, they are not just buying a couch to sit on, but piece of English Heritage. The Important word here is English- not European, or even UK, but English . So when a gentleman in spain, for example, wants to purchase a chesterfield, he wants the real thing- produced in its rightful birthplace- England!!!

Recently, i have had an unusually large amount of enquiries from customers in the United States of America who want to purchase chesterfields, both sofas, settees, and chairs from me. After looking into this in some detail, it seems that there is a huge demand for a genuine, English Leather Chesterfield, in the states and currently not many people servicing this market. To this end, we have recently spoken with our haulage company and negotiated a deal to give free delivery to all US orders over £1500.00 for the next couple of months to see just how much demand there is over there!

This offer does exclude the Chesterfield Suite Specials, but includes the whole of the rest of the range- including hump back, tufted, buttoned, and cushion based models.

I’ll keep you posted !
