Chesterfield sofas actually date back to the 19th century! The trademark of this fashion includes a high back sofa which has armrests that match the height of the high back. In addition to that, these sofas also have rolled arms and irremovable sewn-in cushions. Chesterfield sofas are usually covered in leather or velvet to give that perfect classic vintage look and they traditionally mark stretched tailoring and tufting that is accented with buttons.
