A timeless icon of English design, this green leather Chesterfield sofa carries centuries of history and craftsmanship. The Chesterfield form is widely believed to have originated in 18th-century England, commissioned by Philip Dormer Stanhope, the 4th Earl of Chesterfield. Legend holds that he requested a sofa that would allow a gentleman to sit upright without wrinkling his clothing—resulting in the now-iconic deep button tufting, rolled arms, and low, even back.
Upholstered in rich green leather—or a combination of leather and hide typical of the period—the sofa has developed a soft, worn-in character over time, with a patina that adds depth and authenticity. While the exact type of leather cannot be confirmed, it exhibits the natural variations and wear that speak to its age and careful use.
Over generations, the Chesterfield became a symbol of status and good taste, appearing in aristocratic homes, gentlemen’s clubs, and institutions throughout England. Its balanced proportions and tailored details have allowed it to transcend trends, remaining relevant in both traditional and modern interiors.
Both stately and inviting, this green leather Chesterfield sofa anchors a room with history and presence. Whether styled in a library, living room, or study, it offers enduring comfort and a tangible connection to the heritage of English furniture design.
Condition Notes
There is a tear in one of the cushions, approximately 1.5” in length, and several scratches and wear marks. Please review pictures before purchasing, and as always, don’t hesitate to reach out with questions.
In addition, please, note there are currently castors installed…one wheel under each corner of the couch.
