Chesterfield sofas share a complex history,
alongside the elite, the privileged if not
aristocrats. History reveals that these types of
couches are once and are still used in the
confines of old institutions, government
buildings and luxurious homes. The name
Chesterfield is by all means a complex term,
coined by equally complex roots. The name itself
is supported by time, in line with history as
well as social issues and tradition.
A room, in the 1900s, would not be complete,
unless the master owns a Chesterfield sofa.
Gentlemen, wearing hats and bowlers, seek
momentary refuge in their respective morning
rooms, laying their backs onto these comfortable
Chesterfields. On the other hand, women, donning
their formal dresses, are all glammed up, busying
themselves with a cup of tea and biscuits, while
enjoying their time in these leather seats.
Comfort and sophistication define a leather
armchair and Chesterfield sofas represent it all.

Here are several theories supporting the history
of Leather Chesterfields and how come it has been
the sofa of both elegance and tradition. History
suggests that it was originally commissioned by
the Fourth Earl of Chesterfield namely Philip
Dormer Stanhope.
Born on September 22, 1694, Philip Dormer
Stanhope is a renowned diplomat, statesman and
writer. His works and affinity for the classy
and tasteful, is perceived to be the main reason
why the famous leather armchair and Chesterfield
sofa are given its proper name and distinction.
Chesterfield sofas are all about the design and
structure. The sofas quilted, buttoned
upholstery and main use of premier leather makes
the sofa a remarkable choice for the elite and
well-to-do. The low-seat base and the couchs
rounded arms spell comfort, but at the same time,
not forgetting the tradition, when it was firstly
used.

A Chesterfield is about buttons, leather and
quilting. It is the furniture previously reserved
for the upscale market. It is a mark of class and
stature back in the old days. A chesterfield can
be referred to as the Mother of all Sofas
because of its elegance and price range.

Both facts and myths are involved in tracing the
Chesterfield sofas roots. Others claim that the
constant use of the term, back in the 19th
century, was started by the Americans and
Canadians, who seem to use the word Chesterfield
to refer to almost any settee, couch or armchair.
History and tradition defines a Chesterfield sofa
and today, the elegance brought by these leather
Chesterfields cannot be underestimated. Modern
designers use Chesterfield sofas as inspiration
while designing interiors for todays homes and
buildings. The sofas tufted back and all-leather
base are still serving its purpose of comfort and
style, alongside other modern trends.
