The History of the Chesterfield Sofa

There are many opinions on the origin of the word Chesterfield as a description of the item we now know as a Leather Chesterfield Sofa.

Many believe 'Chesterfield' to be an adopted turn of phrase, stemming back to the turn of the century when Chesterfield started to become the word used to describe a sofa in Canada and certain parts of America,Italy & Australia

In England, a davenport with arms and back of the same height in buttoned leather may also be referred to as a Chesterfield sofa Another, view is that the fourth earl of Chesterfield - Phillip Stanhope (1694-1773) was honoured by the commissioning of a piece of Fine Furniture (a Leather Chesterfield Sofa).

Many believe the term Chesterfield originally referred to the style of buttoning of the leather, shape of the sofa back, and even the height of the seat.

Whatever the real reason behind the name, a leather chesterfield by any other name would now be strange. A proud piece of furniture, made by proud craftsmen, for proud customers.
