Chesterfield sofa

A style of sofa, usually upholstered in leather, defined by arms set at the same height as the back, deep buttoned upholstery and, in its traditional form, rolled arms and short bun feet. The name is commonly linked to the 4th Earl of Chesterfield in the 18th century, though that origin is not documented, and the familiar deep-buttoned Victorian form dates from the 19th century. It is made today by many workshops and manufacturers.
