Hand Dyed Deep Buttoned Leather Chesterfield Sofa

1900 - 1920
For Sale by LTANTIQUES.CO.UK
Description

A handsome chesterfield sofa, dating to circa 1920, upholstered in its original, refurbished leather. The leather has recently been hand-dyed to create a beautiful, rich burnished chestnut tone, giving it a wonderfully individual character and depth of colour.

Featuring deep buttoning throughout the backrest, sweeping scroll arms and generous sprung seat, with individually hand-tacked brass studs detailing the arms and lower frame. A substantial, exceptionally well-made piece, offering both quality craftsmanship and timeless appeal.

Raised on mahogany bun feet.

The leather retains its lovely aged character, with just a few minor marks from age and use. Overall, in good condition and ready to take pride of place in a traditional or modern interior.

Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1920s:
Individually driven brass studding: hand upholstery work rather than modern nailed strips.
Fine surface creasing across the hide: decades of use under recent dye.
Deep-buttoned sprung seat: substantial traditional build before modern foam cushions.
Turned hardwood bun feet: period proportions supporting the low frame.

This is an independent date and photo anotation report compiled by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. The process uses the photographs shown on this page. The system is never told the date the dealer has declared. This report shows that the two dates corroborate.

This Chesterfield sofa dates to circa 1920 in the Victorian style. It is upholstered in original refurbished leather with a hand-dyed warm brown burnished chestnut tone, featuring deep buttoned tufting across the backrest and front rail, sweeping scroll arms, individual hand-tacked brass nailhead trim along the arms and lower frame, and low turned mahogany bun feet with minor marks from age and use.

In a home today, this substantial seating option suits placement in a gentleman's library, study, or living room, fitting comfortably into traditional or modern interior schemes as a central gathering place for family or guests.

FAQs

The Chesterfield style originated in 18th-century England, named after Philip Stanhope, the 4th Earl of Chesterfield. The design was created to allow a gentleman to sit upright without wrinkling his attire, becoming an enduring symbol of traditional British furniture design.

Traditional Chesterfield sofas feature a solid hardwood frame, deep buttoned upholstery fastened with individual leather-covered buttons, hand-stencilled or hand-dyed full-grain leather, and hand-tacked brass studding along the front arm fascias.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-finished leather with natural colour variations and patina, individual brass studs rather than continuous stud strips, deep buttoning that extends fully into the frame, and heavy timber framing with turned legs.

A leather Chesterfield functions as a foundational focal point in modern spaces. Pair it with clean-lined contemporary coffee tables, textured wool throws, and neutral architectural backgrounds to balance its visual weight and detailed leatherwork.

Maintain hand-dyed leather by wiping regularly with a clean, dry cloth and applying a specialist leather conditioner once or twice a year. Keep the piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent uneven fading or drying of the leather hide.
