About Us | Handmade British Sofas & Craftsmanship
Craftsmanship, British Heritage & Bespoke Quality
For more than 55 years, The English Sofa Company has been crafting beautifully designed and handmade sofas right here in the UK. With our roots firmly planted in Manchester and Lancashire, we have kept our production local to maintain full control, preserve traditional upholstery methods and deliver high-quality furniture that stands the test of time.
Made in Britain, Built to Last
Each piece is manufactured in our purpose-built workshops by skilled artisans who bring decades of experience. Our commitment to British manufacturing means we source as many materials, fabrics and leathers from the UK as possible — ensuring that every sofa is not only luxurious in appearance, but dependable in performance.
Bespoke Options to Suit You
We believe your sofa should be as individual as you are. That’s why many of our pieces can be tailored to your size, comfort preferences and choice of materials. Whether you choose one of our signature Chesterfield sofas, a contemporary design or a fabric/leather finish, we are here to guide you through every step of your bespoke journey.
A Legacy of Quality
From our earliest days to today, our focus has remained the same: build with integrity, use quality materials, and apply expert craftsmanship. Our own design and development team produces exclusive upholstery designs that reflect both timeless elegance and modern lifestyles. The result? Furniture that not only looks beautiful, but offers enduring comfort and value.
