At distinctive Chesterfields we are very proud of the two versions of Chaise Longue that we have made for many hundreds of customers. All of these people knew what they wanted but some had no idea how it became named. Basically it is French for long chair, but in modern France the term chaise longue can refer to any long reclining chair such as a deckchair, the name of course sounds a bit fancy but that’s the French for you! In North America they refer to it as a “Chaise Lounge” a mixed spelling and pronunciation, now established over there.

Perhaps the more popular of the two we manufacture is the Princess Chaise Longue built over a traditional hardwood frame, upholstered in classic leather and features a fully buttoned top. Because of the Victorian styling, we feel that our darker leathers are more suited to the look, but the full range of leather is, of course, available.

Stylish, elegant and rather romantic, the picture of someone laying on an elegant Duchess Chaise Longue describes perfectly all of these. Manufactured in the Yorkshire workshops of Distinctive Chesterfields by quality craftsmen to their exacting standards, just the same as all the products that comes from this discerning manufacturer.

Reflecting a modern approach to an elegant 18th century styling this Chaise Longue has a sweeping shape and soft springing making the Duchess truly comfortable, but stunning to look at. Naturally the frame is assembled entirely by hand, and then it is fully sprung before being foamed to await the upholstery of your choice. As with all Distinctive Chesterfield products the complete range of leathers is available, as well as the renowned Signature Range.
