The Rothwell Chesterfield Sofa
A masterclass in traditional British Chesterfield design. The Rothwell brings together two of the most characterful details in the upholsterer's craft, resulting in a sofa that is visually striking from every angle. With no plain panel left unfinished, it is just as beautiful from the side as it is from the front.
The Rothwell Difference
This exceptional piece stands out through two distinct design choices that elevate it beyond the standard Chesterfield.
Elegant Sloping Arms: Rather than rolling inward at a consistent height, the arms sweep gracefully upward towards the back of the sofa in a clean, confident line. This gives the Rothwell a distinctive, open quality, drawing the eye along the full length of the piece and creating an elongated presence that sits beautifully in both period properties and larger modern rooms.
Fully Tufted Seat and Back
Adding a layer of depth and craftsmanship rarely seen across the Chesterfield range, every surface is covered in rich, hand-tufted leather detailing. Every button is hand-set and hand-tied by our Lancashire craftspeople to create the characteristic diamond pattern across the entire seating surface. It is a finish that only improves in appearance and comfort with every year of use as the leather softens and settles.
Uncompromising Craftsmanship
Handmade in Lancashire. Built to endure, the Rothwell is constructed on a solid, kiln-dried hardwood frame supported by hand-tied coil springs throughout. It is designed to be the focal point of your living space for decades to come. Available in a 1-seater club chair, as well as 2, 3, and 4-seater configurations, you can perfectly scale the Rothwell to your room. Finish your piece in a choice of over 50 leather colours and finishes — ranging from traditional antique tan and oxblood through to contemporary navy, forest green, and black.
