From a single-room miner's cottage in Gunnerside, Swaledale to the largest and most lavish furniture store in the country at Regent Street, Leeds, Christopher Pratts has come a long way in over 160 years.

At the age of 21, Christopher Pratt became an apprentice to cabinet maker Joseph Nutter, and 5 years later, in 1845, formed his owned business.

Quickly, the quality and craftmanship of the furniture produced by Christopher - and eventually his sons - won over many new customers.

The sons started selling our craftsmens' work and soon the business became the north's leading furniture store.

After over 160 years, demand for the Chrstopher Pratts selection of fine furniture, soft furnishings and the highly personal levels of service meant that the family owned company had to look for larger premises.

From Gunnerside to Leeds, the journey has been well worth it - for Christopher and for you

Guardsman Stain and accidental damage cover
Of course for that extra piece of mind you can also invest in our Guardsman 5 year protection plan.

Guardsman's 5 year cover lets you relax and enjoy your new investment, with our fabric cover any spills will be taken care of and if you purchase a leather sofa you will get the additional cover against rips, tears, burns or scratches.
