Handmade The Traditional Way
At S.W. James we are proud to still be creating handmade, British furniture in the manner they were made traditionally.
Every piece we make is exclusive to S.W. James and is handmade just for you. We don’t hold stock, so each piece is a one-off commission. No S.W. James is ever the same.
If like us, you are less than enamoured with the direction modern furniture production is heading in the 21 century with its poorly made, cheap and mass-produced aesthetics you will be happy to hear we are maintaining the standards of the master craftsmen.
Our production team is now handing down the closely guarded traditional finishing techniques of Chesterfield production to the next generation of apprentices.

We want you to have peace of mind when ordering your new Chesterfield from us. We have established a set of values, including free shipping and 28 day return policy and a 25 year frame guarantee, to help put your mind at ease when ordering your S.W. James Chesterfield via our website.

S.W. James Heritage
We Only use the Finest Materials
We have spent countless hours selecting our vintage leathers, fabrics, sumptuous cushioning and comfort focused design. All our items use only the finest materials we can source and are designed & built by a small team in Greater Manchester, England.
S.W. James – Comfort, Luxury And Heritage
A Comfortable Chesterfield To Call Your Own
Infusing luxury and comfort into our Chesterfields and sofas is our most important goal. Every S.W. James we create comes with our Signature Comfort Blend of soft cushions atop of hardwood frames and sprung seat bases.
Made entirely by hand. The story of every S.W. James begins in our production studios nestled just outside Manchester, in the north-west of England. Each S.W. James is lovingly handcrafted to order by a small and profoundly accomplished team of furniture makers.

Simply Wonderful Service And Products.

I Can't Recommend S W James Highly Enough
I can't recommend S W James highly enough. We've been absolutely delighted with the service from start to finish - professional, transparent and attentive. Warren was so helpful, and either on the end of the phone to answer questions, or would call back very quickly if we couldn't get hold of him straightaway...
