Hi, I just love tufted furniture!! The classic Chesterfield sofa has long been a favourite of mine - even back to childhood I recall thinking how wonderful those lounges were. It's a funny feeling to think about now, something I still love today that sparks those childhood memories.
Did you know it is rumoured the Chesterfield Sofa was first commissioned by PhilipStanhope the 4th Earl of Chesterfield (1694-1773) with its distinctive deep buttoned, quilted leather upholstery and low seat. Apparently there is no definative answer as to when it was actually first designed. This is good enough for me. I know it's been around for a very long time and it has inspired so many more fabulous designs since. Here's some gorgeous images to lose yourself in - what do you think? Are you a fan of tufted furniture?
