THE WONDERFUL HERITAGE OF CHESTERFIELD SOFASA Story by AmeliaWestonThe epitome
of style, luxury, character and charm, the Chesterfield Sofa is the James Bond
in the world of luxury furniture. When there is Chesterfield, there is nothing
better and nothing as competent to meet the style and benchmark. There is no
particular story as far as the origin of this term or these typical sofas is
concerned. There are many beliefs to its origin. Some believe it was a piece of
furnishing that was commissioned in honor of the fourth earl of Chesterfield,
Philip Stanhope. Others say that the Earl was famous for his style and taste
for collecting luxurious and unique furniture and trendsetting. But one thing
is clear Chesterfield sofas are a symbol and embodiment of English
craftsmanship. Paintings
dating back to early 1700, show that Chesterfield sofas had been part of
government establishments and mansions belonging to the rich class of that
time. These sofas were hand crafted so there prices were equally high and only
affordable to the wealthy. Chesterfield sofa
is upholstered with
a lot of buttons, leveled arms and back, padded seats, usually leather and
sometimes velvet covered seats and varying colors. Full grain leather is used
to make these sofas which add to the soaring prices of these sofas. Buying
something so highly priced can be a time consuming and tedious task. You can
browse catalogs, websites, and stores but only buying tips from the experts can
help you make the right choice. Consider
the following factors when buying a chesterfield sofa: Level of Comfort should be given a Prime Priority: Comfort
should be on the forefront when you plan to buy a sofa, considering the fact
that the sofa will be part of your daily life and you will use it in a variety
of ways. You will watch TV on it, lie down and read, watch movies, study, maybe
share dinner with a friend and the list goes on. Chesterfield sofas are made
with high quality leather but make sure the foam is of high density because if
the foam sags from rough and daily usage, you will see precious investment on
it go astray. Choose the right color: These days’
chesterfield sofas are available in all colors to match the various themes of
your rooms. From sober brown to vibrant velvety purple, you can find sofas to
fit in any of your room. Construction of a Sofa: The other
priority after comfort should be durability. The frame is what keeps the sofa
going and standing. It should be assured from the manufacturer that the frame
is built with strong wood so that the sofa has lesser chances of collapsing any
time soon. Guarantee offered by the manufacturer: If a
manufacturer is offering a warranty of more than 2 years, this shows the sofa
is durable because guarantee is a cost to the manufacturer. If he is offering
longer guarantee, it means he is sure he would not have to give cash back for a
defected sofa. All these
assured, and you’re all set to buy the chesterfield sofa of your dreams! About the Author: Amelia Weston is a
