Unknown.

Object Literature

Chesterfield sofas share a complex history, alongside the elite, the privileged and aristocrats. History reveals that these types of couches have been commonly used in the confines of old institutions, government buildings and luxurious homes for generations. A room, in the 1900’s, would not be complete, unless the master owns a Chesterfield sofa.

A golden opportunity to acquire a quality sofa at a good price.

Object Condition

The golden upholstery is mid twentieth century, and in pretty good shape with some minor wear, and we have administered a full clean to the whole. The sofa sits fairly low but then that is the style and it does not require any attention and is ready to use.
