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 and specifically the kind with rolled arms and a deeply buttoned back that looks as though it has been there 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 Britain in our Manchester workshop, built around a seasoned hardwood frame and shipped directly to your door across the United States.
Here is the part that surprises people, because a chesterfield armchair is not a single design at all.

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 color does.
STRICTLY CLASSIC
The Conrad Chesterfield Armchair, the Chatsworth Chesterfield Armchair and the Sussex Chesterfield Armchair carry the low rolled arms and full buttoning that 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 & ROUNDER
The Geneva Chesterfield Armchair, the Grasmere Chesterfield Armchair and the Montana Chesterfield Armchair ease the lines slightly, keeping the buttoning while relaxing the arms into something a little more forgiving. These suit interiors that lean transitional rather than strictly traditional in feel.
PERIOD DETAILING
The Edwardian Chesterfield Armchair, the Naunton Chesterfield Armchair and the Ashley Chesterfield Armchair carry the finer touches that suit older houses and original fireplaces.
GRAND IN SCALE
The Hammersmith Chesterfield Armchair 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 Chesterfield Armchair, 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 and understandably so, 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.
Velvet in emerald, navy, blush and deep mustard, carrying an otherwise neutral room single handed.
Wool and herringbone in warmer, softer tones for country houses and interiors where leather feels a little formal.
Tweed for a countryside feeling that suits period rooms, stone fireplaces and firelight particularly well.
Patchwork panels stitched one by one from our finest cloths, so no two chairs ever match. Antique and heritage leathers arriving with the worn character a new hide takes years to earn
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, letting the chair become the focal point of the corner. Deep forest green or ink blue behind a tan hide, which is one of the loveliest pairings there is. Warm plaster and clay tones, flattering both the buttoning and the leg finish.
Textures that flatter
A solid wood side table and a floor lamp, which make any chair a reading corner. Aged brass lighting, stone fireplaces and open shelving stacked with favorite books. A Chesterfield ottoman, which completes the lounging position and doubles as extra seating.
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 Britain using time honored techniques, so each seam reflects the care that goes into a piece meant to last generations and every hardwood frame carries our lifetime guarantee.
Yes. Most designs are available as both sofas and armchairs, so you can order them in the same leather or upholstery for a coordinated look.
A Chesterfield armchair has a lower back and open sides, giving it a more relaxed and versatile profile, while a wing chair has a higher back and enclosed winged sides for a more traditional, enclosed feel.
