Almost everyone will have seen or sat on a Chesterfield sofa at some point in their lives. First made in the late 18th century, this iconic English design has graced living rooms, offices, inns and libraries for more than two hundred years. From the smell of the leather to the feel of the cushioned seats, a classic Chesterfield sofa can induce memories and emotions that modern furniture has no power to replicate. A Chesterfield is so much more than a sofa. It’s a handmade masterpiece and a living connection to the past.
No sofa makes a bigger impression than the mighty Samuel Johnson. Unlike most Chesterfield sofas, characterised by their smaller proportions, the Samuel Johnson features large umbrella handle shaped arms that continues around the back, giving amplitude and softness in back support. The deep seat and fully sprung back and armrests make sitting in a Samuel Johnson Chesterfield feel decadent and indulgent. The visual impact of this magnificent piece of furniture is further enhanced by its turned legs and optional solid brass castors.
Trends ebb and flow, but the Chesterfield sofa remains perpetually relevant and desired. For more than 200 years, they have been the sofa of choice for proud home and business owners. A leather Chesterfield sofa adds culture, comfort and refinement to any room it enter
The handmade Chesterfield sofa collection is available in a complete range of colours, textures and materials. If you want to be true to the original 18th-century design, go for a hand-coloured leather finish. If you want to blend tradition and contemporary style, choose a monochrome leather colour or a bold shade of velvet. Specially made to order, you can even decide on the firmness of the cushions or amend the dimensions to create a beautiful piece of furniture that is uniquely your own.
