English club armchair

The English club armchair is a model that evokes the elegance of gentlemen thanks to their seat and their upholstered back. The Saulaie house aims to offer you the best antique English armchairs by working with craftsmen. Our know-how is perpetuated as the family business evolves. It is with great pleasure that we offer you the possibility of embellishing your living room with a full-grain leather club armchair. The most widespread models are undeniably the Chesterfield armchair and the vintage brown club armchair.

The English club armchair: British and French origins?

The English club armchair made its appearance in France when members of the French Court enjoyed chatting while sitting in traditional comfortable armchairs, the famous bergère armchairs.

The gentlemen saw their smoking rooms equipped with new comfortable leather armchairs. The lines are simple and refined. When these new English armchairs arrived in France, the craftsmen were inspired by these models. By mixing traditional comfortable armchairs with antique English armchairs, the club armchair was born.

The club armchair is still called a comfortable armchair. This name is unequivocal and refers to the great comfort of the back, the seat and the armrests. In addition, the upholstery of the armchairs is traditionally made of full-grain leather (basane) which develops a patina over time.

The Chesterfield armchair: an antique English armchair

It is undeniable that the Chesterfield armchair is an English model. Sofas of this type are often placed in an office or in a living room. These armchairs, once very masculine, are now adapted to women. The capitons are the trademark of Chesterfield armchairs and sofas.

The manufacturing is of course artisanal. The structure is assembled with solid wood. The padding is of high quality, as is the upholstery. The Saulaie house invests for you, in order to find the best materials.

We therefore offer you English armchairs in basane, fabric and velvet. Our craftsmen use their know-how to offer you a wide range. The choice of colours is therefore varied: red, green, brown, beige, yellow, blue and olive.

An English armchair for a vintage or contemporary decoration

Saulaie surpasses itself and advises you for a decoration that will last over time. We aim for the long term, which is why our furniture is of very high quality. However, we want time to enhance your armchairs. Our models of English club armchairs are particularly interesting from this point of view.

Indeed, a Chesterfield armchair or a comfortable armchair will go with any type of interior decoration. Whether you have an urban, elegant, vintage, contemporary or other decoration, the format of this armchair is perfect.

The difference will be played out in the choice of upholstery and colour. However, if you know that your armchair will remain in the family, opt for a classic model that you can modernise with other decorative elements.
