Chesterfield sofa distressed

Finding the ideal settee, divan or a sofa can be a bit overwhelming. The over all interior décor and the atmosphere in general also play a vital role when choosing a new piece of furniture. No need to specify that quality and price go parallel as well. The sofa that has withstood the test of time in a true sense is the leather Chesterfield sofa.

Over three centuries ago, a carpenter following the instructions of the Earl of Chesterfield, created a design to support posture with comfort. Since then, quality, elegance, grace and comfort have been synonymous with the Chesterfield sofa. Initially the Chesterfield sofa was quite costly, as obviously it was designed for royalty. Over the time, however, this piece of furniture has become more accessible to the general public. With the development in technology, the use of lesser expensive leather and fabric has lead to more affordable prices. Nevertheless, it is the distressed leather sofas that are considered the most elegant, tasteful, priciest and highly sought after. In order to give the Chesterfield sofa a facade of being an antique piece, the leather is distressed around the seat, head, and the arm areas.

Whatever your inclination in fabric, shade, designs, and contour, you can find a Chesterfield sofa to go well with your preferences and your room. However, to get the classic look you should aspire for those designs that are compassionate with vintage designs – leather or fabric can be matured or distressed while low leg and straight backs is the wonderful silhouette for your vintage Chesterfield.

The Chesterfield sofa is an everlasting, chic piece of furniture. It will blend excellently with almost any room – thanks to its standard studded backrest and its smooth profile. It is comfy and with appropriate care, will last a very long time.
