You'll recognise the chesterfield sofa for its tufted upholstery -- some leather, some fabric -- and rolled arms. The origins of the chesterfield sofa is a tad murky, but many believe it came from Chesterfield, England; the 4th Earl of Chesterfield wanted a seat that is not only comfortable, but allows a gentleman's suit to stay crease-free. Soon, this piece of art made its way into gentleman's clubs and speakeasy bars. Having one will definitely add an old-world charm to your space.
