Chesterfield Sofas

Chesterfield SofaA Brief Introduction…

History…The term Chesterfield is generally used to describe a sofa created in honor of Philip Stanhope, the fourth Earl of Chesterfield (1694-1773).

TrendThe Chesterfield sofa was once exclusively the preserve of the wealthy and well to do: the sumptuous tufted leather couches with rolled backs and arms were once only to be found in gentlemen’s clubs and royal palaces, where the gentlemen smoked cigars and drank brandy.
