The chesterfield sofas have been famous historically for being the choice of famous celebrities and rulers. That is why you can often find this sofa painted in antique paintings of rulers. Here’s how this piece of royalty is crafted:
The Technique This furniture that dates back to 1700s is hand crafted. It is crafted with utmost caution and is designed to the exact measurements so there is rarely a chance of any error. The way it is created also ensures the durability of the sofa. People don’t really rely on handmade furniture in the modern times, but it is exactly the opposite in case of Chesterfield sofa. People trust handmade chesterfield sofas in terms of durability more.
The Foundation Making of a sofa usually starts from the basic frame that supports the shape of the sofa. The best wood should be used in the frame so the sofa can last long. It is surprising to note that originally the chesterfields that were built back in 1700s the frame was hand assembled. Braces are used to link joints either with glue or screws. The braces are polished with a fine finish. The whole frame is polished properly and left to dry for around two days.
The Shapers Now to give sofa a proper shape, crafters will add individual coil springs. This is usually done manually but some manufacturers do it mechanically to ensure a proper grid. However the former are more durable. After this the panels of padding are added which give the final shape.
The Upholstery Natural leather is used to upholster chesterfield sofas. You might find natural markings also on the leather which is a sign of its authenticity.
The Buttons and Studs The chesterfield is known for its buttons and studs that are fitted on its surface to give it the elegant look. For a luxurious look, many people get gems and studs added but for an elegant look many people simply order leather buttons to be fitted on the top.
