House Note · About this piece

The chesterfield is one of the most recognisable shapes in English furniture: arms rolled outward at the same height as the back, the whole thing deep-buttoned and finished in leather. The story that an Earl of Chesterfield commissioned the first is told often and proved rarely, but by the late nineteenth century the name was firmly attached to the form, and it has furnished libraries and clubs ever since.

This armchair keeps the rolled arms and the buttoned back and arms, with a tufted seat below. It is upholstered in soft leather over dense foam and a sinuous spring base, the serpentine steel springs that give a seat its lively support. Rather than bun feet, it stands on a slim frame of polished stainless steel.

Set it in a study opposite the desk with a reading lamp, or in a living room beside the fire with a side table for a whisky and the crossword.
