Club Chairs – Hand Dyed Leather

Posted on December 17, 2008 by Helen

Hand-dyed leather, as the name suggests, is a fully aniline leather which has been hand-dyed and buffed, by skilled professionals, to give an extremely smooth finish and a rich deep colour. As with the Premium Leather, the hand-dyed leather has an amount of pull up too, therefore it will show colour variance across different parts of the Club Chair. Hand-dyed leather is the ultimate in leather finishing, adding an element of total individuality and uniqueness to your Club Chair.

The Hand-Dying process is a time honoured and traditional method of leather finishing, which has been done the same way for many centuries. The leather is vegetable tanned and hand-dyed before being sealed and sent for final assembly, where it will be applied to your Club Chair. This process results in a deep rich colour over a very fine grained leather – extremely soft to touch. The hand-dyed leather will develop it’s own characteristic patina after many years of use and really will become better over time.

Hand-dyed leather is our top range leather and is, without a doubt, the most exclusive of finishes to be found on a Club Chair. This type of leather is most likely to be found on our most exuberant Club Chairs.

Club Chairs – Premium Leather

Posted on December 15, 2008 by Helen

One of the leathers we use for upholstery here at Distinctive Chesterfields, for your Club Chair, is Premium Leather. If you are looking for something more than standard in your Club Chair, then our Premium Leather range is for you.

Premium Leather is a semi-aniline pull up leather, which is creamed and moisturised by hand, after upholstering your Club Chair, to give an extra soft finish. This particular type of leather shows creases and signs of distress on your Club Chair. This is normal, as Premium Leather is one of the most natural leathers and extremely high in quality. It also has a pull up effect.

As this type of leather is pre-treated with a unique blend of natural finishing products, this gives a greater contrast on your Club Chair. The grain is finer than the standard Antique Leather and the Premium Leather is a lot softer to touch.

Because of the way it is treated, the leather colour will vary over different parts of the chair. Therefore, every Club Chair will be unique (regardless of the colour you choose) and have it’s own patina. A fantastic choice if you want something more.

The range of colours available is vast, with nineteen standard shades to choose from.

Antique Leather for your Club Chair

Posted on December 12, 2008 by Helen

So you’ve chosen a colour scheme for your room/office. What you have to decide now is what type of leather you are looking for. Also, the quality of leather you choose will determine ultimately which colour you have to decide upon for your Club Chair.

We have three types of leather, at Distinctive Chesterfields, as standard for your Club Chair. These are Antique, Premium and Hand-Dyed. Here we take a look at Antique Leather.

Antique Leather is the standard leather used for Club Chairs and has been used for over a century to give Club Chairs a deep glossy finish.

Antique Leather is a hard-wearing, corrected grain leather. This type of leather is ‘blacked’ prior to being applied to the frame of the Club Chair, then once the Club Chair has been upholstered, the leather is hand-antiqued by partially ‘rubbing off’ the black coat on top to reveal a lighter more traditional colour underneath. Once this process has taken place, the entire Club Chair is then hand-sealed to protect the leather and enhance the final finish. This laborious technique gives the end product an authentic antiqued appearance. Antique Leather is very fine in quality and is available in ten different colours. These consist of:

Light Rust, Antique Rust, Autumn Tan, Tan, Brown, Gold, Red, Green, Olive and Blue.

Club Chairs – The Right Colour Leather For You

Posted on December 10, 2008 by Helen

There are so many things to consider when choosing a Chesterfield Club Chair. One of the most complex is always the choice of leather colour.

Traditionally, a Club Chair would be upholstered in antique brown, antique red or antique green but nowadays the sky’s the limit and the choice is yours. And it’s amazing what difference the choice of colour makes – something as simple as choosing a brighter colour can really lift and transform a room. Take, for example, a white Club Chair – now this would look great in a pub/club or loft apartment. Whereas a Club Chair covered in a darker hand-dyed chestnut leather gives a more rustic, homely feel. Whatever colour you decide, you can be assured that the Club Chair will retain it’s classic charm for which they are renowned for.

The colour you choose for your Club Chair depends entirely on the surroundings it will be placed in. So you need to decide what colour furniture will accentuate your room. If you have a modern lounge or environment, a lighter brown, blue, red or pale green would look fantastic. If you are furnishing a more traditional stately room or office, then the darker brown and antique colours would fit in better. Check out our range of colours at Distinctive Chesterfields to see which colour suits you best.

What Style Club Chair Are You Looking For?

Posted on December 2, 2008 by Helen

Club Chairs these days don’t have to be old fashioned and ‘gentlemanly’ pieces of furniture, unless of course, you want that traditional look.

People nowadays want the quality and luxury afforded by a Chesterfield Club Chair but might want something a bit more modern and sleek looking.

Club Chairs come in various different shapes and sizes, depending on the environment you are putting them in. Whatever your taste, there’s bound to be a Club Chair to suit you.

If you are furnishing a traditional golf club, or similar, and want a more authentic look – then the timeless button-backed and studded Club Chair, perhaps in antique red, brown or green, would ooze charm and sophistication.

If, however, you were furnishing a trendy wine bar or loft apartment, then a sleeker and more contemporary Club Chair, perhaps in striking white, would be perfect.

Or then there’s the office or study – what sort of image are you going for? Whatever you decide, you can be sure there’s a Club Chair to match your image.

And not only is it upholstered in leather but modernists are now covering Club Chairs in fabric, which gives a much softer, country-living feel.
