Inside The Workshop - 1994
Winchester began in a small workshop in the 1970s, built on the belief that true craftsmanship takes time, patience, and respect for materials. What started as a modest bench and a handful of tools has grown into a workshop where every piece is shaped by hand and guided by intention. Our craft has never been about speed or volume, it has always been about meaning.
Across five decades, the tools have changed, but the values have not. We still cut, stitch, and finish every piece with the same discipline that defined our earliest years. We still choose materials for their integrity, not their convenience. And we still believe that furniture should be made to last, not just in structure, but in sentiment.
In 1994, Winchester produced a full manufacturing film for our global retail partners, a transparent, start‑to‑finish record of how a true British Chesterfield was made. Hundreds of copies were distributed to showrooms around the world, giving customers an honest view of the craftsmanship behind every piece. Today, that original film stands as living proof of our heritage, capturing the same techniques and values that continue to guide our workshop.
