FAQs

The Chesterfield sofa style dates back to the 18th century, traditionally associated with the 4th Earl of Chesterfield, and became a staple of Victorian interior design characterised by its deep button tufting and rolled arms.

Authentic period pieces typically feature a solid timber frame, hand-tied coil springs, horsehair or wool stuffing, and premium bovine leather secured with individual brass tacks.

Authenticity is identified through traditional joinery methods, hand-stuffed upholstery materials, genuine patina on the leather, and period-appropriate hardware rather than modern staples or synthetic foam.

Pairing a worn leather sofa with contemporary lighting, neutral textured walls, and minimalist accessories creates a balanced aesthetic that bridges traditional and modern design.

Preserve antique leather by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and treat it periodically with specialised leather balms to maintain flexibility and prevent cracking.
