The Original Chesterfield

English furniture

There are many different stories  about the origin of this typical English furniture, of which the following story is most plausible:
In 1773 Philip Dormer Stanhope - English writer, the statesman and 4th Duke of Chesterfield - received  a visit while on his deathbed. He spoke to his faithful servant: "Give Mr. Dayrolles a chair ". The clerk, confused by the approaching end of his master, insisted that the visitor, upon his departure, take the chair where he had just been sitting upon. This chair is probably the forerunner of the Chesterfield style that we know today.
Below the answers to some frequently asked questions about Chesterfield:

What is Chesterfield?

Over 200 years old classical furniture style, recognizable by the diamond pattern with the buttons and the nails in front. The furniture originated in England and is originally handcrafted in leather.

Chesterfield is a brand name?

No, Chesterfield is a furniture style but not a brand name. To illustrate, you can compare the Chesterfield style with the station wagons under the cars; Chesterfield is a particular style within all types of furniture. Within this category several brands are subsequently found, including The Chesterfield Brand.

Must an original Chesterfield come from England?

No, the story that only English Chesterfield is good quality, is a decades old invented myth. The Chesterfield style is after many centuries very popular and it is therefore evident that the number of producers have increased rapidly worldwide. To protect themselves against competition from abroad, the English manufacturers have assigned themselves an elite status. This was a very clever marketing ploy at the time, but now it’s completely obsolete. there are manufacturers in the UK who produce furniture of very low quality due to cost savings. Today, The country of origin says virtually nothing about the quality delivered.

How do I see the difference between a real and an imitation Chesterfield?

A Chesterfield imitation can be identified by simply looking at the furniture yourself, the feel of the leather and simply just to sit on. The use of cheap leather will give a false appearance. Also a range of only a few models in a very limited number of colors or failure to provide warranty and support may indicate low-quality mass production.
