About Us

About Our Company

At Classic Chesterfield , we proudly operate as a factory-direct business, meaning we no longer supply to retail stores across Australia. With our dedicated Wholesale Showroom and Factory repair & restoration Center, we now offer the public exclusive access to genuine, high-quality Chesterfields at true wholesale prices — available both in-store and online. We also offer Australia-wide delivery for your convenience.

When you purchase from us, you’re not only buying a piece of furniture — you’re investing in decades of craftsmanship, heritage, and quality. We are proud to continue delivering iconic Chesterfields to Australians at wholesale prices, backed by a reputation built over more than four decades.

The success of the company can be attributed to the dedication in designing & producing the finest Chesterfields for sale in Australia without exception. Many have tried to attain our standards but failed. Unlike other companies, we hand-craft all our own designs to our original standards dating back 45 years.Every single piece of furniture we sell has been hand-crafted, to order. Each sofa and chair is lovingly fashioned by time-served upholsterers, seamstresses and cutters, many of whom have grown up with the business. Our sofas and chair frames are made from solid beech hardwood, using traditional joints, strengthened corners and robust suspension. Buttons and studs are all individually hand-tacked. For our leather, we source only entire cowhides from the best Italian tanneries.

With over 45 years of experience in manufacturing, retail, commercial supply, and importing, our passion lies in producing handcrafted leather Chesterfields of the highest standard.

We work closely with exclusive partner factories in Italy and Australia, all of which manufacture according to our original, trademarked Chesterfield designs. Each piece is crafted using 100% genuine hand-rubbed, waxed aniline leather, carefully selected by our company’s original founder.

Journey Map

1975

Humble Beginnings

Sam & Marryanne open a small workshop and store in St Albans, Melbourne. With just two upholsterers from Moran Furniture, Classic Chesterfield begins its legacy of handcrafted quality.
1980

Rapid Growth

In just five years, demand doubles. Classic Chesterfield now produces for major brands like Moran, Lawfords, and David Jones. The team expands to 10 skilled artisans.
1985

Expansion & Innovation

We acquire a larger factory in Reservoir and introduce over 20 unique Chesterfield designs—solidifying our place as Australia's leading Chesterfield maker.
1990

Going Global

The family merges production with relatives in Italy. Two factories now operate: Italy for Europe & the Middle East, and Australia for local demand. At just 14, Robert, the founders’ son, begins learning the trade, keeping the tradition alive.
2000

Retail Powerhouse

With 100 staff, our Reservoir factory supplies major retailers across Australia: Myer, David Jones, Harvey Norman, Le Cornu, Guests, Berkowitz, and more.
2010

Transition & Resilience

Due to industry shifts and local manufacturing decline, we close our Australian factory. Production moves fully to Italy. Despite early challenges, our quality and reputation remain strong in Australia.
2020

A New Era

After the passing of Marryanne, co-founder Salvatore semi-retires. Robert leads the next generation, launching a direct-to-public, wholesale model online. Sales soar—even during COVID—bringing the Chesterfield legacy into the digital age.
2025

Today – The Legacy Continues

Salvatore still restores Chesterfields in his 70s. Robert leads Classic Chesterfield with the same family values: timeless quality, handcrafted excellence, and a dedication to every customer, Australia-wide.
