English Craftsmanship
a heritage that is british to the core
A British Tradition
British To The Core
Every element used to produce an S.W. James Chesterfield is sourced in Great Britain. The exception to that rule being our beautiful leathers which are sourced from the finest Italian based tanneries. This decision has allowed S.W. James to provide the very finest, bovine hides for all our Chesterfields.
The result is a collection of hand designed and hand built British Chesterfields, leather sofas and chairs that wear the S.W. James brand name with pride.
English Craftsmanship
Made In England
At S.W. James we are proud to still be creating handmade, British furniture in the time honoured fashion. If, like us, you are less than enamoured with the direction modern furniture production is heading in the 21st century with its cheap, poorly and mass-produced products which are mainly imported, 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 apprentice.
We are very proud to be associated with 'Make it British'. They share our passion for preserving and encouraging the highest standards in British manufacturing.
A Brand Born To Travel
International Shipping
From a loft in Kensington to a beachfront in Malibu, we are exceptionally grateful that people all over the world love what we are doing and trust in our quality and heritage.
Although we may be thousands of miles away, you can be sure that when our beautifully hand crafted British made Chesterfields land at your door, they will be as beautiful as when they left the factory.
