History of Chesterfield sofa

There are many stories that are told about the emergence of the Chesterfield Sofa Gumtree, however, the one that has been reported the most and, therefore, the one that has the most credibility is that it says that the V count of Chesterfield Sofas County was responsible for its elaboration. In this regard, he noted that the regular armchairs and sofas of the time prevented sitting upright, which generated a couple of negative and unacceptable consequences.

To begin with, it was that being unable to maintain a straight position, it was difficult to expose oneself to others according to the standards and norms demanded in those times. Also, the furniture made the clothing look inappropriate after sitting for a while because it formed wrinkles.

In this way, the count sought a reliable and experienced cabinetmaker, who commissioned the creation of a very special sofa, which unknowingly became one of the most used in the world. Thus, it went from being a sophisticated adornment of the most exclusive men's clubs in London to the houses of wealthy people, to where it is today. Because to this day, it is still booming, being the classic furniture par excellence.

Characteristics of Chester sofas

The Chesterfield Sofa Gumtree stands out among the others for its striking and original features, among which are recognized:

• The backrest and arms of the sofa are arranged at the same level, which in most other sofa designs the backrest is usually higher than the arms.
• The shape of the arms is spiral and curved.
• The legs are short and made of wood with turned finishes. Also in more modern designs are added wheels to facilitate their mobility if necessary.
• It has a type of upholstery on the back that is very typical of the Chester sofa called the capitoné. This turns out to be very comfortable and sophisticated and consists of padding with some buttons placed geometrically.
• Originally the material for the upholstery is the leather of basic colors such as black, gray, beige, white, maroon, brown and dark green. However, due to modern adaptations, they can be found in different genres.
