Quintessentially British, the Durham Chesterfield Sofa offers timeless sophistication. Expertly handcrafted at our workshop in Blackburn, Lancashire, the Durham combines everything that makes a great Chesterfield — deep buttoning, rolled arms, a solid hardwood frame — with one finishing detail that sets it apart: traditional individual antique studding, applied by hand around the base. Available as a Club Chair, Queen Anne Chair, 2, 3, or 4 seater in a wide range of leather styles and colours.
The stud detail that makes the difference
The Durham's antique studding is not a trim added as an afterthought — each stud is placed individually by hand, following the line of the base to create a crisp, considered finish. It is a detail that speaks to the quality of the construction behind it, and one that becomes more noticeable the closer you look. Against both antique and contemporary leather finishes, the brass studding adds a warmth and formality that elevates the Durham above a standard Chesterfield.
Built for everyday life
The Durham is handmade on a kiln-dried beech hardwood frame, corner-blocked for lasting stability and upholstered in genuine leather chosen for durability as much as appearance. It is designed to be sat in every day — not kept for best. With occasional leather conditioning, the Durham will only improve with age, developing a natural patina that adds to its character over time.
Complete the suite
The Durham is available across the full range — from the compact Queen Anne Chair with its high back and gently sloping rest, to the generous Club Chair with its rounded, sumptuous seat, through to 2, 3, and 4 seater sofas. Mix and match to create a complete Durham suite, or pair a single sofa with a chair for a more relaxed arrangement.
