Our Chesterfields

Our Company

At IM Upholstery Ltd, we take great pride in our ability to craft one of the most iconic pieces of British furniture: the Chesterfield sofa. With its distinctive deep buttoning, hand-applied studding, and timeless silhouette, the Chesterfield has remained a symbol of elegance and heritage for centuries. For more than 70 years, our craftsmen have been manufacturing these classic designs by hand, keeping alive the tradition of authentic upholstery while adapting them to suit modern living.

Each Chesterfield sofa we create is made to order using the finest available materials. From solid seasoned Beechwood frames to individually placed serpentine springs, every element is carefully selected and assembled to ensure comfort, durability, and enduring charm. Upholstered in natural aniline-dyed leathers, our Chesterfields develop a rich patina over time, making every piece truly unique.

Timeless British Design

The Chesterfield remains one of the most recognisable sofa designs in the world, and at IM Upholstery we continue to honour its heritage while offering flexibility in style. Our range includes both classic Chesterfield sofas and vintage-inspired designs, each handmade with precision and care at our UK-based facilities.

From prestigious interiors to contemporary living spaces, a Chesterfield adds a sense of grandeur and sophistication. We are proud to manufacture a wide variety of Chesterfield designs and also have the ability to create exclusive, bespoke models tailored specifically for your brand or project.

Leather and Fabric Options

Our Chesterfield sofas are available in a wide palette of leathers and fabrics to suit every interior scheme. From hardwearing corrected-grain leathers ideal for commercial environments, to soft and supple aniline leathers that offer a luxurious high-shine finish, our selection is designed to meet both aesthetic and practical needs. For a more tailored look, we can even work with fabrics supplied by the client, ensuring a perfect match with existing interiors.

Character and Charm

A Chesterfield sofa is more than just furniture it is a statement piece that embodies character and craftsmanship. Each of our models showcases the intricate details that make Chesterfields so distinctive: deep buttoning, rolled arms, studded trims, and premium finishes. Clients can customise these details to create either a bold, traditional centrepiece or a more refined and understated version suited to modern spaces.

Every Chesterfield produced by IM Upholstery is handcrafted in our UK workshops by skilled upholsterers who bring decades of experience to each piece. This not only guarantees exceptional quality but also ensures we can respond quickly to bespoke requests and deliver furniture that aligns perfectly with your vision.

With our combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern flexibility, we are proud to continue producing one of the finest examples of British furniture design.
