Chesterfield sofas are one of the most renowned sofa designs in the world. Defined by their rolled arms, low back, deep button tufting and traditional leather upholstery.

The Chesterfield sofa was invented back in the mid 18th century, when Lord Philip Stanhope, the fourth Earl of Chesterfield, commissioned a piece of furniture for his guests to sit on.

More specifically, he required a striking piece of furniture with a low seat and high back to allow his gentlemen to sit comfortably, but without creasing their suits. Stanhope employed a local craftsman to design a suitable piece of furniture, thus, the very first Chesterfield sofa was created.

As an authoritative figure within the community and renowned as a trendsetter who people looked to for the latest fashion and styles, it’s no surprise that Stanhope commissioned a piece of furniture that would become a true icon of its time.
