Mountbatten Velvet Chesterfield Sofa
Each Winchester piece is handmade in our British workshop using traditional upholstery methods passed down through generations. Our Heritage Timeline traces the craft lineage behind every model, while the Craft & Upholstery Guide outlines the techniques and materials that define Winchester’s maker identity.
The Mountbatten Velvet Chesterfield Sofa
The Mountbatten Velvet Chesterfield Sofa is a distinguished interpretation of the classic English Chesterfield, reimagined in rich, tactile velvet for a softer, more opulent expression. Handmade using authentic materials and heritage upholstery techniques, the Mountbatten combines deep buttoning, sculptural scroll arms and a refined silhouette with the warmth and lustre of premium velvet.
The result is a composed, luxurious piece suited to drawing rooms, formal living spaces and interiors that call for both comfort and quiet grandeur. Shaped entirely by hand, the Mountbatten Velvet Chesterfield offers enduring quality and a disciplined, maker‑led expression of this celebrated form.
Craft & Construction
The Mountbatten is crafted using the same heritage methods applied to our classic Chesterfields, with every stage shaped by hand in accordance with the principles outlined in our Craft & Upholstery Guide.
• Hand‑joined hardwood frame, dowelled, glued and screwed for long‑term strength
• Deep buttoning, executed by hand using traditional techniques
• Fully upholstered scroll arms, shaped and padded by hand
• Velvet upholstery, selected for depth of colour, softness and refined drape
• Hand‑tacked finishing, reinforcing the precision of true British craftsmanship
Every detail, from the shaping of the arms to the tensioning of the deep buttoning, reflects the discipline and integrity of Winchester’s workshop principles.
The Mountbatten can be upholstered in a curated selection of premium fabric chosen for:
• Depth of colour
• Soft, tactile handle
• Elegant drape and sheen
• Durability suited to everyday use
Traditional jewel tones create a period‑correct richness, while contemporary neutrals offer a more modern interpretation of this classic silhouette.
Made in England, One Piece at a Time
Every Winchester piece is produced in small batches by trained upholsterers in England, maintaining the standards set out in our Workshop Principles and preserving the heritage of traditional British furniture making.
