Vintage Pair of Chesterfield Dark Tan Leather Lounge Chairs – Circa 1950

Sale price£1,875.00

A superb pair of vintage Chesterfield leather lounge chairs dating from circa 1950, upholstered in beautifully aged dark tan leather.

These are exceptionally well-made chairs of great quality, with traditional horsehair filling and a substantial, generous size. They have wonderful proportions, with deep comfortable seats, broad arms and the classic Chesterfield form.

The dark tan leather has developed a fantastic rich patina over many decades, with beautiful variations in tone, depth and character throughout. Traditional brass studded surrounds provide the finishing detail and complement the aged leather perfectly.

The chairs have a wonderfully substantial feel and are extremely comfortable, while retaining an elegant and well-balanced appearance. A particularly attractive pair of genuine vintage Chesterfields with the quality of construction and materials associated with pieces of this period.

The chairs are in good vintage condition with age-related wear consistent with their age and use, adding to the character and beautiful patina of the leather.

the craft behind the patina

A slower way of making furniture — and the reason every piece feels different.

The Craft behind the patina

the craft behind the patina

Each sofa is dyed by hand using traditional pigments.

No two pieces finish the same — the patina develops naturally, just like fine leather luggage or vintage jackets.

The hand-dyeing process

Dyed by Hand, Not by Machine

Each hide is dyed by hand using layered techniques rather than sprayed or drum-coloured finishes.

The colour is built gradually, allowing depth, variation, and movement to develop across the surface.

No two hides take the dye in exactly the same way — and that’s entirely the point.

What you’re seeing isn’t a surface colour, it’s colour that lives within the leather!

The patina

A Patina Designed to Evolve

The patina is created through a multi-stage hand-dyeing and finishing process.

Over time, the leather continues to soften and deepen in tone through use, light, and touch, adding further character without losing integrity.

The result is a finish that feels established from day one and improves with age.

"Couldn’t recommend highly enough.
Absolutely love my sofa. And so does everyone else!"

"Brilliant pieces of furniture, great knowledge and you will not be disappointed. I bought an armchair after a visit to his warehouse. That in itself was a great experience. A hidden gem for now. Thank you!"

"They really are wonderful and we are delighted with our new chairs."
