There is bold and then there is a patchwork wing chair, which takes the tallest silhouette we build and covers it in a dozen different cloths. It is the most talked about piece in our entire workshop and it is the one that stops people in the doorway before they have registered anything else in the room. Nothing else we make announces itself with quite the same confidence from across a room.
The shape itself is centuries old, since the wings were originally built to trap the heat of an open fire and shelter whoever was sitting in it. Wrapping that heritage silhouette in hand stitched panels of tweed, tartan and velvet is the kind of contradiction that should not work at all and yet it has become one of the most requested things we build.
Here is the part that surprises people, because no two of these chairs are ever quite identical.

A tall back gives the panels something a sofa never can, which is height and height is what turns an arrangement of fabric into something closer to a tapestry. The eye travels upward across the buttoning and out along the wings, so every cloth you chose actually gets seen properly rather than disappearing under a cushion.
Choosing is less about matching your existing colors and more about deciding how loudly you want the corner to speak, since the palette sets the mood far more than the silhouette does.
THE COUNTRYSIDE CLASSIC
The Cotswold Patchwork Chesterfield Wing Chair is our best selling patchwork design of all, blending herringbone, tartan and tweed in soft country tones with antique tan leather detailing. The Lavenham Patchwork Chesterfield Wing Chair and the Dorset Patchwork Chesterfield Wing Chair sit in similar territory for anyone drawn to muted, heathered palettes.
BRIGHT & UNAPOLOGETIC
The Camborne Patchwork Chesterfield Wing Chair and the Brighton Patchwork Chesterfield Wing Chair push the color much harder, which is exactly what a tired neutral room usually needs.
GREYS & QUIETER NEUTRALS
The Camden Patchwork Chesterfield Wing Chair works through greys and softer tones, while the Wiston Patchwork Chesterfield Wing Chair keeps to cream and beige patterned cloths that are easy to live with.
DESIGNED AS A FULL SUITE
The Windsor Patchwork Chesterfield Wing Chair and the Hereford Patchwork Chesterfield Wing Chair also exist as armchairs and sofas, so a whole room can be built around one palette.
Leather cannot be patchworked convincingly at this scale, which is why every chair here is built from cloth instead. That constraint turns out to be a gift, because fabric offers a range of pattern and texture that no single hide could ever hope to match.
Tweeds, tartans and herringbones that bring the colors of the British countryside indoors.
Velvet panels that catch the light differently across the wings, the seat and the buttoned back.
Heathered wools adding quieter texture between the bolder printed panels. Leather detailing on certain designs, used as trim and edging rather than across whole panels. Hundreds of possible combinations, since every chair is assembled by hand rather than by pattern
A patchwork wing chair asks a great deal of attention and very little of everything else, which is exactly why it works.
Walls that work
Plain white and warm neutrals, letting the panels carry the color entirely on their own. Deep forest green or ink blue, which grounds a brighter design instead of competing with it. Original paneling and picture rails, since traditional detailing flatters the heritage silhouette.
Textures that flatter
Solid wood, woven rugs and honest materials that let the cloth stay the loudest thing present. Stone fireplaces and firelight, which the countryside palettes were effectively designed for. A Chesterfield ottoman in a single quiet shade, completing the group without adding noise.
The personality shifts noticeably with the scale, so it is worth measuring the corner before settling on a design.
Every chair is handmade in Britain using time honored techniques, so each panel is matched by eye and every seam reflects the care that goes into a piece meant to last generations and every hardwood frame carries our lifetime guarantee.
Every piece is made to order in Manchester and arrives at your US home within eight to ten weeks, delivered white glove.
The design and palette will match closely, though panels are cut and placed by hand, so yours will be genuinely unique.
None at all, since we absorb every import cost on US orders, so the price you see is what you pay.
Busy patterns hide everyday marks far better than plain upholstery, which makes these among our most forgiving chairs.
The frame and proportions are identical, so the only real difference lies in the upholstery and the attention it attracts.
Yes, since every piece is made to order, so dimensions, panel palette and leg finish can all suit your room.
