A lovely Chesterfield is not just a piece of furniture, but part of world history

There are many legends and assumptions about the origin of the most classic and, in the same time, fashionable to this day interior details - Chesterfield sofa. As the Oxford English Dictionary tells us, the word Chesterfield was already used in the 1800s to describe a leather sofa.

One of the legends tells the story of Lord Philip Stanhope, 4-m Count Chesterfield (1694 — 1773) — famous politician, the writer, patron of Voltaire and trendsetters fashions of their time, who asked local artisans to create a piece of furniture, allowing gentlemen to sit upright and decorous, wherein, arrive in a comfortable body position and do not wrinkle clothes. And although, we do not have a single proof of the existence of this noble legend, still the fact, that the sofa is the Lord's namesake, takes place, and hence the legend too 🙂

Well, there is nothing more to add, Chesterfield sofa - an example of the immortality of classics and art, which is also the art of interior.

But this is not the end! The legend has its continuation. The main character is still the same Lord Stanhope, but his godson becomes the second character — Mr Dayrols. History takes us to the last days of the Lord's life, when he is on his deathbed. But, despite its impending demise, The lord does not dare to lose his noble manners, and during the reception of the godson, invites him to sit on a chair, which, fortunately, the famous Chesterfield turns out to be. Despite the tragedy of the moment, touching a masterpiece will never leave Mr.Dyrols alone again, and after a while, he will start mass production.

This is roughly how it all happened ... Perhaps… How do you like this legend?

Well, see for yourself, how masterfully and absolutely effortlessly the sofa fits into any interior:

A classic Chesterfield, which the, by and large, practically never transformed in the entire history of its existence, looks like that:

  • backrest and armrests are located on the same level, and gracefully twisted. And if you look closely at their profile, remember the detail of the capital of the Ionic columns,
  • the surface of the sofa is quilted in a special way, creating a diamond shape,
  • each intersection of the stitching is stitched with a large button from the same fabric, as the product itself,
  • sofa legs — small and rather unremarkable,
  • classic upholstery - leather or expensive velvet.
