The Essence of a Chesterfield Chair.

The delightful history behind the Chesterfield Chair renders it a truly unique and captivating statement piece, a cherished design will never fall out of fashion.  The iconic English design has graced living rooms, offices, inns and libraries for more than two hundred years. The iconically-shaped Chesterfield was popularized in the private social clubs of the British upper-class.  These clubs were, in effect, “second homes” in the center of London where men could relax, mix with their friends, and sink into deep-buttoned Chesterfield chairs designed for long hours of reading, conversation, brandy, and repose.  The Chesterfield has truly stood the test of time, evolving from a symbol of upper-class refinement to a beloved classic that can complement a wide range of interior styles.
