    Step 3 – Choose the covering from a selection of over 100 leathers

    Antique leathers are hand-rubbed after upholstery to create a look that is synonymous with traditional Chesterfield furniture. Antique leathers are a fine corrected grain leather with an antique top coat. After the furniture has been upholstered this top coat is 'rubbed off' in areas to reveal the lighter colour beneath, thus giving an aged appearance.

    Our Birch Leathers are an attractive corrected grain leather, with a plain pigmented finish, offering ideal light fastness, stain protection and a soft feel.

    Our Lena leather range is a deluxe half grain pigmented leather, the surface has been lightly buffed to make it more uniform but it retains its natural character and has a soft smooth finish.

    A natural pull up aniline leather with a soft waxy feel which allows the sauvage look to mature with time. Oils and waxes have been applied to the surface to allow the hide character to show through.

    A natural half grain aniline leather with a slight pull up characteristic. When stretched, the leather lightens to the hide dye colour beneath giving a pleasant contrast of shades.

    Thick, soft and warmer to the touch than standard leathers, with a modern distressed finish. The top surface has been repeatedly buffed to create lots of beautiful, subtle variations in colour and shade with a supple natural surface full of unique imperfections.

    Our cracked wax leathers looks authentically worn but feel amazingly supple and smooth. These high-quality aniline leathers combines worn classic looks, with a beautiful natural surface that is full of distinctive imperfections.

    We purchased a Bolton high back chair from CSC. The service provided was second to none and the 2 man delivery was an excellent service. The chair is really beautiful and the workmanship is impeccable, the leather is lovely and the chair looks so much more expensive than it actually is.
