The Chesterfield Company
Manufacturing iconic Chesterfield sofas and armchairs by hand in their Manchester factory since 1951, The Chesterfield Company is one of Britain's longest-established leather sofa makers. Specialising in the deep-buttoned Chesterfield design that has become synonymous with British craftsmanship, they offer hand-stitched leather and fabric pieces with delivery in 4-8 weeks. Their worldwide reputation has seen Chesterfields delivered as far afield as Japan.
Benny's Verdict
“If you want a Chesterfield — a proper, buttoned, rolled-arm, deep-seated Chesterfield — these are the specialists. Handmade in England with genuine expertise in the art of deep-buttoning that most factories couldn't replicate if they tried. One of those brands where the name tells you everything you need to know.”
