A fabric Chesterfield sofa keeps every detail that makes the shape recognisable, the deep buttoning, the rolled arms and the low level back, while softening the whole thing considerably. Where leather reads formal and traditional, cloth reads warm and lived in, which is why so many people choose it for a room the family actually uses.
It also opens up a far wider palette than hide ever could. Over a hundred colours run through the wools, velvets, linens and tweeds, so the same frame can look quietly Scandinavian in a pale weave or thoroughly dramatic in a deep jewel velvet.
Every piece is handmade to order in our Manchester workshop and delivered free across mainland Britain within six to eight weeks.
Each cloth behaves differently once it is stretched across the buttoning, which is where the character of the sofa is really decided.
Our fabric range sets out every weave in detail, and a fabric and leather mix is also available if you want the character of both.
Almost every silhouette we make can be upholstered in cloth rather than hide.
Cloth gives you far more freedom with colour than leather does, which is worth using rather than defaulting to a safe neutral.
Green has quietly become the favourite among our customers, while grey slips in alongside almost any existing scheme. Deeper shades read as more dramatic in velvet than they ever do in wool, so the same colour can behave two entirely different ways.
Every frame is built from kiln dried solid beech, glued, dowelled and screwed at all major stress points, with serpentine sprung backs and dual reflex foam cushions. The buttoning is pulled by hand so each row lines up across the seat and arms, and the studding is applied individually.
Frames, sundries, fabrics and leathers are all sourced locally from the North West, and every frame carries our ten year guarantee.
Yes, particularly in wool, tweed or a tight weave, which stand up to daily family use for many years. The frame beneath is identical to our leather pieces and carries the same guarantee.
There is no single answer, though wool and tweed are the most practical for a busy household. Velvet is the most striking, while linen suits lighter rooms where a relaxed look matters more than hard wear.
Not necessarily easier, though the demands are quite different from one another. Leather wipes clean in seconds but shows scratches, while fabric needs regular vacuuming yet disguises everyday marks far better.
Velvet, wool, tweed, linen and bouclé, alongside fabric and leather combinations on selected designs. More than a hundred colours run across the range, with your choice of leg finish included.
Vacuum weekly with an upholstery attachment and blot any spill immediately rather than rubbing it. Keep the sofa out of direct sunlight and plump the cushions regularly so the seat wears evenly.
Yes, and we would encourage it before spending this kind of money. Up to six free swatches arrive within a few working days, with no card details required.
Choose leather if you want a piece that ages into a patina and wipes clean instantly. Choose fabric for warmth underhand, a far wider colour range and a softer look in a lighter room.
