The all important frame is manufactured by hand from sustainable hardwoods by our time served craftsmen using methods that have been tried and tested over time, fixing with dowelled and screw methods only. On completion in our joinery shop the frame is then fully sprung before this is sent for the important upholstery. With loose filled cushions, which are well stuffed, and with its classic brass castors, the Wessex is beginning to look like a Distinctive Chesterfield sofa.

Leather covering is the final component and it is here that you the customer can put your own personal stamp on the finished item.
