If I could give out the best sofa award, it would go to the Chesterfield sofa. Not only is it extremely versatile, but it has this understated class and sophistication to it. I did a little research and learned that it was commissioned by the 4th Earl of Chesterfield, Phillip Stanhope, in the 18th century. Yes, this sofa has been around for 300 years and is still turning heads and getting the job done.
It's effectively timeless...
As soon as I can get my hands on one, I will! (I can't stand my champagne taste and beer budget). I have my eye on something like this peacock colored chesterfield.
Rumor has it that the Earl wanted a couch that would allow a man to sit upright comfortably. A true chesterfield has the rolled arms and back of the same height with deep buttons and is made of leather. But you'll find little modifications here and there.
Is this a good investment piece or what? What sofas are you obsessing over?
