Every home has one seat people gravitate toward without ever quite deciding to, the one quietly contested on a Sunday afternoon. It usually has the deepest cushion and the best light, positioned to see both the window and the door. More often than not, that seat turns out to be a Chesterfield chair.
Most people picture the Chesterfield sofa first, right up until they sit in a Chesterfield chair and understand why the shape has lasted two hundred years in British homes. Every one of ours is still handmade in Manchester by time served makers, then delivered to your door across mainland Britain.
Here is the part that surprises most people, because a Chesterfield chair is not one shape 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.
Furniture trends reinvent themselves every few years, moving from mid century legs to bouclé curves to whatever arrives next, yet the deep buttoned chair never looks dated.
Choosing is less about picking the prettiest chair and more about deciding what the corner should do, since silhouette changes a room’s mood more than colour does.
CLASSIC AND CONFIDENT
The Conrad, Chatsworth, Sussex and Grasmere are the purest Chesterfield armchair designs, with low rolled arms and a deeply buttoned back. These suit anybody who owns a sofa in the same design and wants the two pieces to match exactly.
TALL AND SCULPTURAL
The Woodstock, Audley, Keston and Colwyn raise the back and add the winged sides built to trap the heat of an open fire. Nobody needs that now, though no other wingback chair throws quite the same shadow across a wall.
COMPACT AND CHARACTERFUL
The Orkney Short is our smallest wing chair and the easiest to place, slipping into a hallway, a landing or a bedroom corner.
GENEROUS AND GRAND
The Goliath, Grande Woodstock and Hammersmith are the statement pieces, built at a scale that suits high ceilings and generous period rooms.
MADE FOR CURLING UP
A snuggle chair sits roughly one and a half seats wide, which is exactly enough room to fold your legs underneath you with a book. Some people know the same piece as a cuddle chair, and it becomes the most argued over seat in the house.
A leather Chesterfield chair is the first thing most people picture, since a good hide only becomes more beautiful as its patina develops. A chair is a small enough canvas to be adventurous with, so many people choose something bolder than they would for a sofa.
The personality shifts noticeably with the scale, so it is worth thinking about the room before the design.
Every chair is handmade in Manchester using time honoured techniques, so each button is pulled and tied by hand and every seam reflects the care that goes into a piece meant to last generations, with the frame beneath carrying our ten year guarantee.
A Chesterfield chair 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 chair 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 and open shelving stacked with books doing the rest. AÂ Chesterfield footstool completes the lounging position and doubles as extra seating.
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.
Very much so, and a chair is often the sensible answer where a sofa simply will not fit. The Orkney Short is our smallest wing chair and slips into a hallway, a landing or a bedroom corner without dominating it.
Yes, every chair is made to order in more than a hundred leathers, velvets, wools and tweeds, with your choice of leg finish. A chair is a small enough canvas that many people choose something bolder than they would for a sofa.
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.
Beside a fireplace, under a window, in a hallway, a landing, a home office or a bedroom corner. A side table and a floor lamp are all it takes to turn any of those spots into a proper reading corner.
