There are few items of antique furniture or indeed contemporary furniture that compare with the leather sofa for style and comfort. Here you can choose from a range of carefully-selected antique and contemporary period style leather sofas suitable for daily use in the home, office, or in a commercial setting such as an office, a hotel, a bar, or perhaps a restaurant.

It’s a fact that fine quality leather upholstery has a character and quality feel about it that simply cannot be found in any other material and, if well cared for, these sofas can last for many years, getting more and more attractive the older they get, as the leather develops that lovely “worn in” look.

If you see the sofa you desire then rest assured that we can pack and ship it to your destination anywhere in the world. Please contact us for a shipping quote first however, as this can add significantly to the overall cost as these antique leather sofas are frequently bulky and heavy with very solid wooden frames.

Fancy a Sumptuous Chesterfield?

The Chesterfield sofa is certainly popular and examples can often be found in hotel lobbies, lounges, and in a host of other public and private places. This timeless design is usually attributed to one Philip Stanhope, the 4th Earl of Chesterfield who is purported to have come up with the idea for the Chesterfield sofa back in the 17th century. In fact, it is highly likely that the design back then bears little resemblance to what is described as a Chesterfield today. In fact, almost any sofa may well have been referred to as a Chesterfield, it being a generic term applied regardless of the actual design. In truth, it is not well-documented and we don’t really know for sure but it’s a nice story so we will stick with it for now.

By visiting this category of our website you will see examples of Chesterfield sofas, including both antique and contemporary pieces in a choice of different style sand finishes, however the leather Chesterfield is still the option that most people seek. The more practical among you will be pleased to find that we often offer a Chesterfield bed settee option as well.

Even Chippendale Has Something to Say About Leather Sofas

Although our stock revolves all the time it is quite often that we are able to offer leather sofas in the Chippendale style, in many cases in conjunction with other Chippendale style leather armchairs.

These high-backed designs are a mainstay in traditional venues such as gentlemen's clubs, golf clubs and the lounges of those better quality hotels where someone opens the door for you.

Offering the ultimate in both style and comfort, these leather armchairs and leather sofas are a must have for those venues who need to offer the ultimate in class whereas they also have much to offer the homeowner, especially those who live in a period home or were the decor is more traditional.

Invest Both Time & Money in Finding the Right Leather Sofa

A leather Chesterfield or other leather sofa or armchair is a considerable investment and we really do urge you to come to our London showroom and see for yourself if you possibly can. There you will be able to inspect and try these leather sofas and armchairs for yourself and be satisfied that it is indeed the sofa that you are looking for.

If you cannot make the trip then do please check the product listings carefully and inspect the gallery of photographs that we supply with every listing. Also pay particular attention to the dimensions as photographs can often - unintentionally - be deceiving when it comes to portraying an item’s size. You can also sign up for our free alerts which will notify you when a newly listed item becomes available.

Bespoke English Button Back Leather Chesterfield Hazel

Bespoke English Button Back Leather Chesterfield Hazel

This is an absolutely stunning bespoke leather 'Chesterfield' in a beautiful colour that we call Old English Hazel and hand-made in London, England with materials of the finest quality. It features sumptuous button back leather, "Old English Hazel " which is an aniline-finished leather that is tanned to ensure a pleasing distressed or ‘aged’ finish from new. Extra fat liquors are applied during tanning to give the leather a slightly waxy feel. These leathers are designed to allow the natural marking variations of the leather to show through to the finish coat. Pull-up leathers do not have a consistent colour density across the whole hide and are designed to change colour and sheen when pulled or stretched. They are not as colour fast as pigmented hides and are designed to allow furniture to age and relax through use and over time. Evidence of marks and scarring will be seen through the surface finish.   Each hide will be unique, as will be the furniture on which it is used. The studding is achieved with close individual nails or studs -  not by using strips - and each nail is individually hammered in by hand., and the frames are made from solid beech, as we only use hardwoods. The seat has individual double cone hand springing, each spring is hand sewn to the beechwood frame and the filling is canvas, fibre and felt. Handmade English furniture of this quality can last for generations if well-cared for. Available in other colours, see colour charts in photos. Condition: In excellent condition, please see photos for confirmation.
