A Little History…
The term ‘Chesterfield’ was first used to describe a piece of sofa-like furniture in the 1800s. however the style was originally commissioned by Lord Philip Stanhope, the fourth Earl of Chesterfield (1694–1773), from whom the sofa got its name. It’s said that the Earl wanted somewhere for a gentleman to sit without putting creases in his suit, so he employed a local craftsman to come up with a solution. The end result of this commission was the forerunner of the Chesterfield sofa. As it became more popular, the Chesterfield found its way into the homes of many wealthy families. in the form of not only sofas but also armchairs, chairs and footstools upholstered in luxurious velvet or leather fabric. Until present day, Chesterfield is a fixture of many gentleman’s clubs in London. These exclusive clubs play an important role in the daily lives of the rich and wealthy, offering a place where they could relax, dine, and socialise. Chesterfield furniture features prominently throughout all of these venues, becoming the natural choice for interior designers.
