There is a moment in every room where the sofa is settled, the rug is down and the corner by the window sits empty. It is almost always a chair that belongs there, specifically the kind with rolled arms and a deeply buttoned back that looks as though it has been in place for decades. That instinct is a good one, because the armchair makes a room feel considered rather than merely furnished.
Most people meet the shape through the Chesterfield sofa first, though the armchair is where the craft is easiest to appreciate up close. Every one of ours is handmade in our Manchester workshop, built around a seasoned hardwood frame and delivered to your door across mainland Britain.
Here is the part that surprises people, because a Chesterfield armchair is not a single design at all.
If you are unsure where to begin, order up to six free swatches and they will reach you within a few working days.
A sofa commits you to a wall and a viewing angle for as long as you own it, while a single chair stays mobile. It can face the window through the morning and swing back toward the fire when company arrives in the evening.
Choosing is less about the prettiest photograph and more about how formal you want the corner to feel, since design shifts the mood more than colour does.
STRICTLY CLASSIC
The Conrad, the Chatsworth and the Sussex carry the low rolled arms and full buttoning most people picture when they imagine the shape. They are natural companions to a matching sofa, since both share a design name and can be ordered in the same hide.
SOFTER AND ROUNDER
The Geneva, the Grasmere and the Montana ease the lines slightly, keeping the buttoning while relaxing the arms into something more forgiving. These suit interiors that lean transitional rather than strictly traditional in character.
PERIOD DETAILING
The Edwardian, the Naunton and the Ashley carry the finer touches that suit older houses and original fireplaces.
GRAND IN SCALE The Hammersmith is the largest armchair we build, made for high ceilings and rooms with real architectural presence.
MADE AS A PAIR
The Harvard and Harvard II, along with the Humphrey and Humphrey II, are designed to sit either side of a fireplace in balanced symmetry.
A leather Chesterfield armchair is the first thing most people picture, since a good hide only becomes more beautiful as its patina develops around the buttoning. An armchair is a small enough canvas to be adventurous with, so many people choose something here they would never risk across a sofa.
The personality shifts noticeably with the scale, so it is worth thinking about the room before settling on a design.
Every chair is handmade in Manchester using time honoured techniques, so each seam reflects the care that goes into a piece meant to last generations, with the frame beneath carrying our ten year guarantee.
An armchair asks very little from the rest of the room, which is exactly why designers keep reaching for one.
Walls that work. Soft white and warm neutrals let the chair become the focal point of the corner. Deep forest green or ink blue behind a tan hide is one of the loveliest pairings there is, while warm plaster and clay tones flatter both the buttoning and the leg finish.
Textures that flatter. A solid wood side table and a floor lamp turn any chair into a reading corner, with aged brass lighting and open shelving stacked with books doing the rest. A Chesterfield footstool completes the lounging position and doubles as extra seating.
Yes, and the deep seat, supportive sprung back and generous filling are what make the difference over an evening. The low rolled arms also sit at a natural height for resting an elbow while reading.
Most designs come in a classic single seat and a wider one and a half seat, which is the snuggle size. Choose the single seat for a reading corner and the wider one if you like to fold your legs up.
Yes, every chair is made to order, so dimensions, seat height and leg finish can all be adjusted through our bespoke service. Ring the workshop and somebody will talk the options through with you properly.
Yes, with more than a hundred leathers, velvets, wools and tweeds available across every design in the collection. Free swatches are the only reliable way to judge a colour before committing.
Yes, and most armchairs share a design name with a sofa, so both can be ordered in the same hide. Ordering together is the surest way to have the leather cut for an exact colour match.
Leather is the traditional choice and ages into a richer version of itself over the years. A chair is a small enough piece to take a bolder velvet, which is why many people choose something braver here than on a sofa.
