Leather armchairs are a great way of finishing off the look of a room once you have bought your new Chesterfield sofa. They can also be used as great standalone pieces of furniture, and really enhance the look of a hallway, bedroom or Livingroom.
Discover our collection of leather armchairs at The Chesterfield Company, handcrafted in our Manchester workshop using premium materials and traditional upholstery techniques. Designed for both comfort and durability, our leather armchairs are available in a wide range of styles, from classic Chesterfield designs to more contemporary pieces.
Whether used as a standalone feature or paired with one of our sofas, a leather armchair is a versatile addition to any living room, bedroom or reading space.
A leather armchair is a single-seat upholstered chair designed to provide both comfort and support. Known for its durability and timeless appeal, leather upholstery offers a practical yet stylish solution for everyday living.
- Supportive backrests designed for long periods of sitting
- Comfortable seat cushioning for everyday use
- Durable leather upholstery that improves with age
- A wide range of styles to suit both traditional and modern interiors
Leather armchairs can be used as statement pieces or as part of a coordinated suite, offering both flexibility and long-term value.
Leather armchairs are a popular choice due to their combination of durability, comfort and classic styling.
- Long-lasting materials that stand up to daily use
- Easy to maintain and clean compared to many fabric options
- Timeless designs that work across a range of interiors
- Natural character that develops over time
From fireside seating to reading chairs, leather armchairs provide both function and visual impact.
All of our leather armchairs are handcrafted in our Manchester factory using the same high standards as our sofas.
- Solid hardwood frames for strength and stability
- Premium leathers including aniline, full grain and antique finishes
- Traditional upholstery techniques for a refined finish
- Made-to-order production for a tailored result
This ensures every chair is built to last and designed to maintain its comfort and appearance over time.
Our collection includes a variety of designs to suit different spaces and styles:
- Chesterfield Chairs – classic deep-buttoned designs with rolled arms
- Leather Wing Chairs – high-backed chairs offering added support and comfort
- All Chairs – explore our full range of handcrafted seating
- Leather Sofas – pair your armchair with a matching sofa
Each design is available in a wide range of leathers, allowing you to customise your chair to suit your home.
A well-made leather armchair should offer both immediate comfort and long-term support. Our chairs are designed with this balance in mind.
- Deep seating for a relaxed feel
- Supportive backs to improve comfort over time
- High-quality cushioning that maintains its shape
- Strong internal construction to prevent sagging
Whether used daily or as an occasional chair, each piece is built to provide consistent comfort.
When selecting a leather armchair, consider how it will be used within your space:
- Compact designs are ideal for smaller rooms or occasional seating
- Larger chairs can create a focal point in a living room or study
- Softer leathers offer a more relaxed feel
- Firmer finishes provide added durability for busy households
With a wide choice of styles and finishes, you can create a chair that fits both your space and lifestyle.
Leather armchairs are designed to last. Over time, the leather develops a natural patina, adding character and depth to the piece while maintaining its strength and comfort.
Combined with solid construction and expert craftsmanship, this makes a leather armchair a long-term investment in both style and practicality.
