Established in the Chesterfield Tradition Since 1773
Crafted in Lancashire. Trusted worldwide. Rooted in real history.
A custodian of a 250‑year tradition
For more than fifty years, Winchester furniture has been built by skilled British craftsmen using premium hides, traditional techniques, and a standard of care shaped by generations of shared craft.
Authenticity cannot be awarded. At Winchester, it is earned in the workshop, through time‑honoured techniques, disciplined craftsmanship, and the intention behind every piece we make.
Heritage Icons
Since the 1970s, Winchester has been shaped by the hands of craftsmen who believe that furniture should carry meaning, not just function. Our legacy was built in the workshop, a place where skill is learned slowly, materials are respected, and every piece is made with intention.
We have never chased trends or volume. Instead, we’ve stayed true to the values that defined our earliest years: honest British workmanship, time‑honoured techniques, and a commitment to creating pieces that endure.
Every Chesterfield, every chair, every piece of wall art is crafted as a lasting expression of heritage, made to be lived with, appreciated, and passed on.
Leather Tanning Is Without A Doubt One Of The Oldest Human Activities
A glimpse into the quiet mastery behind our materials. In 1994, our tanning process combined time-honoured technique with uncompromising quality, each hide treated with care, patience, and purpose. It wasn’t just leather. It was legacy in the making.

A Legacy Carried Through Generations
Winchester’s story is woven through decades of British craft. Our earliest pieces, built in the 1970s and 1980s, are still in homes today, still admired, still used, and still valued. Many return to our workshop for restoration, not because they failed, but because they were loved enough to deserve renewal.
Our heritage is more than a timeline. It lives in the hands that build each piece, in the traditional methods we’ve preserved, and in the continuity of skill passed from one generation to the next. From the original 1987 campaign image to the 1994 manufacturing film, our archive stands as proof of a craft that has never stood still, only deepened.
A Winchester piece is not just made for today.
It is made to be lived with, cared for, and eventually passed on.
Made for Life, and Made to Be Restored
For over fifty years, Winchester pieces have been built to endure.
Many of our earliest Chesterfields, crafted in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, still return to us for restoration today.
We offer this service exclusively to our own customers, ensuring every Winchester can be renewed, preserved, and enjoyed for generations.
Handcrafted in Britain for over fifty years, a continuous workshop lineage carried across generations.
