Description
Chesterfields A traditional Chesterfield sofa offers soft comfort. Attributed to a piece of furniture commissioned by the Fourth Earl of Chesterfield, Philip Stanhope, Chesterfield now describes sofas that are comfortable, usually upholstered in quilted leather, and detailed with a buttoned back. The name now denotes sofas that include some or all of these characteristics, as well as over-stuffing or rolled arms. Part of its allure is its universal appeal — and as Ralph Lauren has described it — its casual grandeur. The timeless style and universal appeal of the Chesterfield make it a versatile and suitable sofa for a diverse range of interiors.
