Leather is a natural product which not only looks good, can be stained and hand finished to a variety of colours and types, but is a warm long lasting durable material, in fact it has been ideal for covering chairs, sofas, and other items for hundreds of years.

If plastic had been around a couple of hundred years ago, can you imagine ever seeing an original piece on show today in a stately home? We don’t believe so and if it was, it would have a really hard feel and be cracked or split. With leather we can produce a leather finish that entirely suits the requirements of the user, will still feel warm and soft to the touch, and given the right care and maintenance will give years of service and although it will mature, it will still look as good as when it was first made by Distinctive Chesterfields.
