BLACK FRIDAY SALE NOW ON - OUR BIGGEST SALE OF THE YEAR

Product Build

Our furniture is beautifully designed and built using techniques some of which have been passed down through generations of traditional upholstery makers. Using some of the finest leather hides and cloths from prestigious fabric houses such as Linwood and Warwick ensures the finishing materials compliment the quality of our build.

Leathers - Request Free Swatch

We know when it comes to making a decision for your home it is important to get as much advise as possible. With over 50 years manufacturing experience with the best quality UK hides, we are both pleased and qualified to offer our assistance. Leather is a naturally beautiful product and we believe the best looking sofas are created using leathers that are tanned to realize the inherent character and integrity of the hide. Aniline and Semi-Aniline leather are pigmented with natural aniline dyes to ensure the unique variation of each hide is preserved. Our aniline leathers are produced using only the top 5% of hides to create the wonderful display of leathers presented in our range. We avoid using lower quality coloured leathers whose natural characteristics tend to have been obscured in the manufacturing process, enabling the production of fine bespoke English furniture.

Our friendly staff are always on hand to help with the decision making and further explain the differing leather options available. Free samples of leathers are also available by calling / e-mailing the sales office or using our free brochure page online to select upto 6 different samples.

Fabrics - Request Free Swatch

When it comes to choosing fabrics, we know our customers are interested in both beautiful designs and suitability for everyday use. Now, we do know a thing or two about fabrics but not as much as our favourite fabric houses. We work hard to find some of the worlds best fabric mills and quality fabrics from simple modern linens and velvets to luxurious heavy wools. All of our fabrics are held in stock in the UK enabling our production within the standard lead time of around 8 weeks. Many of the selected fabrics are also suitable for use in curtains, whilst this is not our area of expertise we can recommend a curtain maker if required, or simply supply additional fabric for your own use.

Mattress

Many of our great sofa designs are available as sofa beds and are supplied with a 5” sprung mattress as standard. A two fold metal frame with 1/3 webbing and 2/3 wooden slats form the base providing great support when used as a bed and optimum comfort when enjoyed as a sofa. Memory foam mattresses are optionally available on our contemporary range of leather and fabric sofas.

Restrictions in the nature of the design of our Chesterfield sofa means that only a 3.5” - 4” foam mattress can be fitted onto a 3 fold action, with a fully webbed base, without wooded slats.

Bolt On Arms

This additional service has enabled many customers to get one of our great sofas into some of the smallest of spaces. By altering the frame construction prior to upholstery we are able to offer many of our sofas with a construction design that enables the arms to be removed on delivery for ease of access. Our experienced furniture handlers will remove the packaging and securely bolt the arms to the frame of the sofa. Structurally sound and aesthetically unchanged the bolt on arm option has worked perfectly for many customers, with the added bonus that the arms can easily be taken off with a small amount of effort enabling the furniture to be removed from the home and move with you should the occasion arise.
