The origins of the Chesterfield design of sofas has been quite a controversial issue over the years but on the review of the history one can observe that many sources point out the 1700s as the century of its origin and the start of its timeline. It is said that the Chesterfield design was originally crafted for the Earl of Chesterfield in 1773, the requirements of which were of a design that was comfortable yet masculine. It was after the place that the design was recorded in the timeline with the name of Chesterfield.
Chesterfield sofa during the time of its inception was crafted with high arms equal to the size of the back and quilted with buttons surface. These features of the original design give such a classy and elegant look that they have lasted all these centuries and now remain as a true icon of British Craftsmanship.
Chesterfield is a highly customizable design and over the period of its timeline it has advanced and modified its design all the more. While originally crafted in leather, the Chesterfield sofas now are being made in all sorts of fabrics and finishes. Originally being a design for the rich and formal, the Chesterfield sofas can now be used for informal settings as well.
Along with that, one can observe the Chesterfield over the timeline that originally the Chesterfields were only being developed in the hues of brown but now, one can see that along with diversification in fabrics, the Chesterfields have also diversified in colour choices. People are not only using all sorts of colours but also using printed fabrics for the finishing as well. The Chesterfield sofas initially were also of bigger sizes being crafted mostly in three seat sofas. But now the Chesterfields are in one and two seat sofas as well. From being a thing of the rich, the Chesterfield has travelled through the timeline to come within the range of everyone now.
