FAQs

A Chesterfield sofa is defined by its deep button-tufted upholstery, rolled arms, and an arm height that is equal to the height of the backrest. Originating in Great Britain, this design traditionally utilizes leather upholstery and hand-tied coil springs over a solid timber frame.

Nineteenth-century sofas were constructed using seasoned hardwood frames, such as beech or mahogany, coiled steel springs, hand-tacked webbing, and natural fillings like horsehair and coir. Upholstery consisted of full-grain aniline leathers secured with solid brass studs and cast iron or brass castors.

Authentic pieces from this period often display hand-carved turned legs, stamped makers marks or serial numbers on the rear legs or castors, original brass hardware, hand-stitched leather seams, and evidence of hand-knotted spring construction underneath the webbing.

A green leather Chesterfield serves as a focal point when placed against neutral, muted walls or paired with modern minimalist side tables. Introducing contrasting textures such as wool throws, natural timber elements, and architectural metal lighting balances the visual weight of the leather.

To preserve antique leather, dust regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply a specialized leather conditioner once or twice a year to maintain flexibility. Keep the sofa away from direct sunlight and artificial heat sources to prevent drying, cracking, and colour fading.
