Chesterfield sofa was a generic name applied to sofas throughout most of the 1900s especially in Great Britain, Canada, and the United States. The origin of the name has long been debated. Some believed that the Chesterfield was named for the Fourth Earl of Chesterfield, Phillip Stanhope, who ordered a piece of elegant but comfortable furniture at some point in the 18th Century. Stanhope's requirements apparently led to the production of a sofa upholstered in generously buttoned, quilted leather, and with arms and back equal in height. Another theory is that the sofa style was named for a town in Derbyshire, England. Others believe the term refers to the buttoning, the shape of the back, or the height of the sofa seat. Wherever the name came from, it was in wide use in the United States and Canada until the later part of the 20th Century.
While leather may be seen as the standard for the Chesterfield, in the Victorian era the Chesterfield sofa became very popular but leather did not always suit their taste. Because of this, it was the first sofa to be completed covered in upholstery and in a wide variety of fabrics. Metal coiled springs were first used on the Chesterfield in the 1830s. Comfort remained important so the springs were padded with horsehair topped with wadding.
Comfortable Sofa Beds
While the Chesterfield sofa has remained a desirable type of furniture for more than 200 years, its price often made it out of reach of most people. This has changed in recent years. Currently, Chesterfield sofas are available at many price levels and in a vast array of covers. Fortunately the high-end epitome of luxury, the leather Chesterfield, still remains. People will always want quality and luxurious materials in their furniture so the Chesterfield sofa will likely continue for many years to come.
