Chesterfield Style Leather Armchair

Step into a world of classic sophistication with the Chesterfield Style Leather Armchair. This piece is not merely a chair; it is a statement of heritage and luxury. The underlying frame is constructed from kiln-dried solid mahogany – a dense tropical hardwood known for its exceptional stability and deep, reddish-brown color. The frame is double-doweled, corner-blocked, and reinforced with steel L-brackets at stress points, ensuring it remains rigid and silent for decades. The chair is fully upholstered in top-grain aniline leather sourced from a premium Italian tannery (Santa Croce). The hide is full-grain, meaning the natural surface has not been sanded or buffed, preserving its unique markings, wrinkles, and scars – the hallmark of genuine high-quality leather. The leather is then drum-dyed with a rich chestnut brown aniline finish, which allows the grain to show through. Over time, it will develop a beautiful patina. The backrest features deep, hand-pulled button tufting (the classic Chesterfield ‘buttoning’) with each button tied individually to the frame – a labor-intensive process that takes a skilled artisan several hours. The rolled arms are lined with extra foam and feature antique brass nailhead trim along the front curve. The seat cushion is a hybrid: a core of high-resilience foam surrounded by a blend of duck feathers (80% feathers, 20% down) encased in a cambric ticking. This provides a firm yet ‘sink-in’ feel that’s characteristic of traditional English club chairs. The front legs are turned mahogany with a dark walnut stain and brass casters (non-marring). Overall dimensions: 85 cm width x 90 cm depth x 75 cm height, seat height 43 cm, seat depth 57 cm. Weight: 28 kg. Maximum capacity 150 kg. This armchair arrives fully assembled. Ideal for libraries, gentleman’s clubs, formal living rooms, or as a luxurious office side chair. Professional cleaning recommended for leather. Warranty: lifetime on frame, 5 years on leather and foam.
