HISTORY OF THE CHESTERFIELD SOFA

Chesterfield sofa detailing
The detailing on a Chesterfield is what sets it apart from regular sofas and gives it the distinctive look that has been so popular for so long. Deep buttoning, attractive studding, and rolled arms are all hallmarks of this classic design, so it makes sense that a lot of care needs to go into their creation.
Chesterfield sofa upholstery
The material that your Chesterfield is upholstered in is also hugely indicative of the quality of the sofa. Not only does the upholstery affect the piece’s visual appeal, but it also has an impact on the comfort and lifespan.
