A chesterfield sofa consists of a heavy and stuffed sofa set that was extremely common in 18th-century Europe. These sofas usually have an upholstered seat and intricately carved out back and arm rest. Some chesterfield sofas also have a long seat and one inclined end to provide some back rest. However, this style has fewer takers in modern day living rooms that prefer lighter sofa sets.Â
Chesterfield Sofa mostly has the deep button tufting on the back. Its arms are rolled and sometimes as the same height as the back. Often made of leather, it’s the sort of piece you would expect in a sophisticated library.
