Some names stand head and shoulders above the crowd. Style and class are the first things that come to mind when you hear these names. Mercedes would fall into this category of name for the automotive industry. In the world of audio Bose has few rivals in terms of name power. So it is in the furniture industry that a Chesterfield sofa is considered a symbol of status and elegance.
The Chesterfield sofa is linked to royalty not only through it's extensive use in places of kings and queens, but also through its very origins. Credit for the origins of this style of sofa is quite often given to the fourth Earl of Chesterfield. A well known cabinet maker of that time was contacted by the Earl with a request for a piece of furniture that would allow a gentleman to sit upright and proper while still being quite comfortable.
Marketing propoganda is the real intention behind this linking of the Chesterfield sofa to royalty according to to more than a few critics. It is speculated that by making the link some people will buy the sofas in order to gain entrance into some elite group. We may never know for sure if there is a link between the Chesterfield and royalty but the sofa has become a well known and loved part of the furniture industry today possibly based on a bit of lore but largely due to it's timeless styling and comfort.
With leather coverings, buttoned down seats and rolled arms, the target was definitely royalty and the very wealthy. Chesterfield sofas are now affordable for most any family or individual who wants one. The cost of leather furniture in general has come down quite a bit in recent years and when you consider the quality and ease of cleaning and maintenance of a chesterfield, it becomes a very realistic option. The extremely sturdy design of the chesterfield will ensure that it lasts for a long time and with it's classic good looks and comfort it will be a joy to own.
