Wilton Button‑Seat Chesterfield Collection
Each Winchester Chesterfield is handmade in our British workshop using traditional upholstery methods passed down through generations. You can explore our full craft lineage in the Heritage Timeline, which documents how our techniques have evolved since the early makers.
The Wilton Collection
The Wilton Chesterfield is a refined, heritage‑driven model defined by its full button seat and elegant, flowing silhouette. With deep hand‑buttoning across the back, arms and seat base, the Wilton offers a sculptural, uninterrupted Chesterfield profile that reflects the earliest traditions of British upholstery. Built on a hand‑joined hardwood frame and crafted entirely by hand, it delivers a firm, supportive sit and a timeless presence suited to both period interiors and contemporary homes seeking authentic maker craftsmanship.
Craft & Construction
The Wilton is individually hand deep‑buttoned across the entire piece, including the seat base, creating a continuous diamond pattern that showcases the highest level of traditional upholstery skill. Each pleat is shaped by our craftspeople, and every button is set by hand to ensure precision, tension and long‑term durability.
The frame is hand‑joined from solid hardwood, dowelled, glued and screwed for enduring strength. The scroll arms are generously padded and finished with individually hand‑nailed studs, placed one at a time to complement the model’s refined proportions.
This model is crafted using the same deep‑buttoning and hand‑tied techniques described in our Craft & Upholstery Guide, ensuring every Wilton reflects true British maker skill rather than mass‑produced retail methods.
The Wilton is crafted exclusively with:
• Full Button Seat, the most traditional, authentic and sculptural Chesterfield appearance
This seat style offers a firmer, more supportive sit and preserves the uninterrupted button pattern that defines true heritage upholstery.
We select filling materials that uphold the principles of traditional British upholstery, chosen for their resilience, support and ability to work in harmony with the hand‑tied springs beneath.
Made in England, One Piece at a Time
Every Winchester sofa 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.
