Just relax and put your feet up is a message we often here and with one of the range of footstools from Distinctive Chesterfields it is really easy. If you have one of the many Distinctive Chesterfield sofas or club chairs you can if you wish choose a footstool which matches this exactly, choosing not just the same style but also the type of leather finish and the colour too.

Alternatively we have found over the past few years that many of our customers are buying footstools from us to use in bedrooms and studies as examples. In our range you have the choice of two types of our famous Queen Anne range in either standard or de-luxe versions. The Darwin is a clean uncluttered footstool that will fit into any style of room and the Regal footstools is a popular choice being somewhat higher than either of these. For someone who is looking for a lower and wider style, we would recommend that the Warwick is the choice for them. This footstool is wider and lower than any in our range an ideal piece for any situation.

We at Distinctive Chesterfields are rightly proud of the range of products that we make safe in the knowledge that all the pieces that are produced in our workshops receive exactly the same meticulous attention to detail.

All our many Chesterfield sofas, club chairs and footstools start with the all important frame, constructed only from selected hardwoods, and carefully formed by hand, using dowels, screws, and corner blocks for added strength. This handmade frame is checked in detail and sent to our polishing shop when several coats of polish are hand applied to parts that will be exposed such as feet for instance. We now pad the sofa or chair and it then takes on its “Distinctive” shape.

Perhaps the thing that makes a Distinctive Chesterfield really stand out is the quality leather upholstery that is selected and applied to the product, which can take up to three days to complete. Finally we apply the buttons or studs individually applied by hand and then the whole piece is then buffed or rubbed off- depending on the selected leather finish and then sealed so as to protect the look achieved.

When you buy a Distinctive Chesterfield, you are buying a Hand Built, Hand crafted piece of fine English furniture.

By their very nature chesterfield sofas and club chairs have a tendency to be on the large size, they were of course designed at a time when home owners of the time, who could afford furniture items such as these, lived in large houses. However, with the rise in living standards and homes becoming being smaller and more manageable, homeowners want the very best when furnishing these including Distinctive Chesterfield sofas and club chairs.

Designed for the smaller home, or perhaps the study, snug, or cosier room in mind our Essex range of Chesterfield furniture is ideally suited. We have not compromised in any way and the Essex is hand built over a smaller hardwood frame to our exacting standards, giving the same distinctive feel as our Dorset range, upon which it is based, but without taking up so much space. Finished with individually nailed antique brass studs, mahogany bun feet, and complemented by the foamed cushions, our Essex chesterfield is one of our best sellers of our comprehensive range of chesterfield sofas and chairs.

Because we are the premier manufacturer of hand crafted chesterfield sofas, many are surprised to see the complete range of complimentary furniture such as club chairs and footstools made by us to the same exacting standards.

All our club chairs can be bought as separate items or with a matching chesterfield sofa. Naturally the three styles of leather exactly the same as our sofas can be selected together with the full range of colours.

Sometimes the size of a room may dictate the type of furniture that is put into it and it is often the case that a number of club chairs can be more flexible than a single chesterfield sofa. In cases such as this we find that putting in two, three, or in many cases, four club chairs is an option that is favoured by many of our customers. In addition to the club chairs matching our sixteen chesterfield sofas, six styles of leather club chair are also offered and can be seen at our online site.

We are often asked for a chesterfield sofa that displays clean lines, simple features and without the normal hand nailed brass studs or pleats. In cases such as this we point them to our distinctive Kent range of chesterfield sofas, club chairs and foot stools, which we find more than fit their requirements.

In the modern home the combination of the Kent chesterfield sofa and club chair, displaying classically simple shaped and clean lines, does not distract from its surroundings and will fit easily into both contemporary and traditional styles of room or home. In common with all Distinctive Chesterfield sofas, the Kent range is available as a two three of four seat version. Available in the full range of colours, we find that the Kent Sofa lends itself particularly well to our premium leather range enhancing its impeccably finished style.

Unique is how many describe our Wessex range of Distinctive Chesterfield products and with good reason. The proportions of the Wessex Chesterfield Sofa are generous and give it a highly distinctive look. In common with all Distinctive Chesterfields, the Wessex begins with the handmade frame, and we use only sustainable hardwoods for this and all our products, which we then fully spring the frame prior to it being upholstered.

The cushions are loose filled, fully stuffed to generous sizes, and the base is finished with brass castors, all of which gives the Wessex its classic look. The colour and choice of leather finish will depend to a large extent on your personal choice and the surroundings into which the Wessex will be placed. However, this Distinctive Chesterfield looks really good in premium leather, particularly in the colour black.
