ABOUT US
“A Chesneys fireplace should be the best there is. That was our aim when we founded the company, and it remains the same today. To ensure that we achieve this we must remain passionately committed to our key values”
Paul Chesney – Founder and Managing Director.
Chesneys was founded in London almost four decades ago by Paul Chesney as a single showroom specialising in the restoration of antique English fireplaces. It remains a family business with second generation family members Nicholas and William, acting as Directors of the company.
Today, the family-owned company is a global leader in luxury heating, with flagship showrooms in London (Chelsea Design Quarter, Battersea, Hampstead on Finchley Road, and St Albans), New York, Shanghai and Beijing, plus over 200 authorised stockists across the UK, Europe, Japan and Australasia. We design and manufacture in the UK, Europe and China, and operate distribution centres in the UK (Nottingham and London) and the USA (New Jersey).
Our portfolio is the most comprehensive in the luxury heating sector: stocked and bespoke marble and limestone fireplaces, wood-burning stoves, gas, electric and ethanol fires, and wood-fired outdoor heating products. Recent launches have concentrated on environmentally responsible, decorative heating solutions using bio-ethanol and advanced electric technologies.
Uncompromising craftsmanship, intelligent engineering and innovative design have been our core values since day one, matched by award-winning service. We are continually investing in new products and new spaces so that more customers can experience the warmth and beauty of a Chesneys fireplace.
“Northacre developments are synonymous with the very highest quality, design and attention to detail. I believe that Chesneys share this vision of excellence and have for many years supplied stunning fireplaces for all of our landmark development projects in central London... Unique in their industry, Chesneys have consistently demonstrated the commitment and professionalism required to successfully deliver projects of substantial scale and great complexity.”
KLAS NILSSON, CHAIRMAN | NORTHACRE PLC
“We purchased this wood burning stove from you last autumn and I thought I would write to tell you how delighted we are with the product. Perhaps you could say that Monty the cat is even more delighted, judging by this photo. I thought it would be nice to share the happiness your stove has brought to us.”
KERRY, BARNY AND MONTY, E18.
“The influence is from my 1930s aunt and of course the Garbo and Dietrich films from that period as well as the tropical Art Deco of Miami Beach, where I now live... I was absolutely delighted to work with Chesneys. I have always wanted to collaborate with them, as they are the premiere fireplace company.”
