FAQs

A traditional Victorian Chesterfield sofa is characterised by equal-height back and arms, deep buttoned tufting, rolled arms, and leather upholstery with brass studding details.

Original 19th-century Chesterfield sofas were constructed using solid timber frames, hand-tied coil springs, horsehair padding, and hand-finished full-grain leather secured with brass upholstery nails.

Authentic antique Chesterfield sofas typically feature hand-stitched leather patination, deep hand-tufting with individually anchored buttons, hand-hammered brass studs, and traditional timber frame construction under the base.

A Victorian leather Chesterfield serves as a focal point in contemporary spaces, pairing well with minimalist architecture, modern art, sleek glass coffee tables, and neutral wool rugs to balance its visual weight.

Maintain antique leather upholstery by dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth, keeping the leather away from direct heat sources or sunlight, and applying a specialist leather conditioner annually to prevent drying or cracking.
