The skills, techniques and knowledge required to create an authentic Chesterfield have been passed down through generations of traditional chair makers.Our time served craftsmen continue this trade – work begins selecting the highest grade leathers and most exquisite woods. Each piece is carefully handcrafted using a process that takes weeks; framed, upholstered and hand finished, preserving the historic methods and designs.
Below is a breakdown of the processes involved in creating your quality furniture.
All our furniture is made with the highest quality solid beech hardwood frame which forms a very strong and durable base. The construction involves the frames being carefully assembled by hand in the traditional way - using glue, screws and dowels to form very strong joints.
Incorporated in our furniture is a selection of foams and fibre fillings, all made to the highest standard and comply with strict European Fire and Safety Regulations. Peace of mind when choosing one of our suites is taken care of, due to the strict regulations we use when choosing our materials.
As leather is a natural product there are no two hides the same. There are hundreds of colours, styles and leather finishes available to the upholstery market. At Expo Leather Company we have hand picked what we believe to be the best quality and value selection for the most discerning customer.

Springs and suspension are further vital elements in furniture construction. Our seat platforms are fully sprung with double tempered no-sag springs which are all supported and linked together with silent wire to create a suspension system which gives longer-lasting strength and durability. In Chesterfield suites the back springs are also linked together in the same way to give extra strength and comfort. Coil sprung units are also available on certain models.
Only the highest quality foam and fibre fillings are used. Seat cushions are state-of-the-art foams, which combine fire-resistance with a sumptuous feel to give exceptional comfort with strength and durability. These foams are known as reflex foams. Because reflex foams are so versatile you can choose the type of seat support which you prefer: Super Soft, Soft to Medium, Medium to Firm, Very Firm, and for that loose floppy look we can combine foams with fibre to create your own perfect choice.
We offer a selection of feet for most ranges. Only top quality castors and glides are used as an alternative choice to hardwood. Our Solid Wooden Bun Feet not only give an authentic visual finish to the base of your furniture but are ideal for use polished wood or tile floors. Choice of colour: Mahogany, Yew and Oak. |
