As Britain's original Chesterfield company...
This is a question we are often asked; the answer is we're not sure! We have customers the world over who have their own ideas; our Canadian customers like to think that Chesterfield is a Canadian word although they refer to any sofa as a Chesterfield. We have done a little research and according to Robert Hendrickson in the Encyclopedia of word and phrase origins, the term chesterfield is commonly applied to a sofa in honour of Philip Stanhope, the forth Earl of Chesterfield (1694-1773). However, Hendrickson points out that it is more likely that a latter Earl of Chesterfield invented them, which earl he does not know. At any rate, according to the OED (Oxford English Dictionary), it was used to refer to a couch in 1900.
According to Carver in American Regional Dialects the term appears to have come into use in Canada around 1903 and in Northern California about the same time. The Journal of the Canadian Linguistics Association notes chesterfield seems to be in general use throughout Canada, though the usual American sofa is also known and used . Almost everywhere in the U.S chesterfields are cigarettes and nothing more. Here in England, a davenport couch was sometimes referred to as a chesterfield but this is obsolete.
In present day England a Chesterfield is now generally accepted to mean a deep buttoned leather sofa with arms that are of the same height as the back of the couch.
Only the original chesterfield company makes chesterfields the old fashioned way, we don't cut corners and wherever possible use traditional methods in our factory.
We would like a definitive answer to the origins of the Chesterfield sofa, can you help?
If you have any ideas about the origins of the word 'Chesterfield' or if you have any interesting Chesterfield facts and we may give you a mention on the site.
Our Factory
Our factory only uses traditional methods to manufacture our fine leather furniture and all of our chesterfield sofas and chairs are made in the UK.
We have a comprehensive quality assurance process from initial order through to final delivery.
All stages throughout the manufacturing process are supervised by time served tradesmen and women with specialised knowledge of the individual skills involved in creating fine furniture.
Manufacture
We go to great lengths to make sure that all of our furniture not only looks good today but will still look good in years to come. All of our leather furniture is hand finished to the highest standard. Each spring is hand inserted into the seats and backs of our furniture with each spring working independently of the others. This ensures that our furniture keeps its form.
Leather
Only the finest quality leathers are used in the making of our furniture. All leather pieces are covered exclusively in select top grain leather procured from the finest tanneries. Unlike most of our competitors we do not use PU, splits or Bi-cast leather. These are passed off as the genuine article but are not suited to traditional Chesterfield furniture.
Real leather is a natural product. It breathes, is warm and has individual characteristics which make each hide unique. Leather will always bear the marks of its natural origin and these characteristics can show as healed scars, growth marks, areas of differing fibre density and hair pore structure. These hallmarks in no way detract from the wearing qualities of the leather. They are signs discerning owners cherish when buying leather. With the passing of time and use our leather develops a patina which enhances its beauty.
Every chesterfield sofa or chair we produce is totally unique due to the leather we use.
Most of compeitiors use a type of leather know as a "split" this is in essence re-constituted leather given an artificial top coat. At the Original Chesterfield Compnay we guarantee to only use the best UK sourced first class leather.
Frames
All our frames are constructed from hardwood,we use either English beech or English ash,which has been carefully dried, milled and processed to remove defects, which could cause structural weakness. All corners and structural stress points are reinforced with corner blocks that are firmly glued in place.
The construction of our frames as shown in the diagram gives an indication of the traditional methods our factory still uses.

Riverdale boys nip Oakland in OT thriller
http://www.riverdalewarriors.com/boys-basketball/season-review/143-riverdale-boys-nip-oakland-in-ot-thriller
Warriors win first 7-AAA game 63-59
BY DEAN FOX • DNJ CORRESPONDENT • January 8, 2011
BY DEAN FOX • DNJ CORRESPONDENT • January 8, 2011T.J. Chesterfield shook off a thigh bruise to score 10 of his 15 points in the fourth quarter as host Riverdale rallied to beat Oakland 63-59 in overtime to start the District 7-AAA schedule Friday night at Johnny Parsley Memorial Gymnasium.
The Warriors took the lead for good, 59-57, on Donya Burnett's layup with 1:55 left. Burnett also rebounded an Oakland miss on the other end off the floor, and D.J. Smith's free throw moments later gave the Warriors a three-point lead.
Oakland's Jahaad Lyons hit a pair of free throws to cut the lead to one before Smith hit one of two. Trailing 61-59, Oakland tried to work the ball inside before the Warriors stole the ball with 40 seconds left.
Smith, trapped in a double-team, called time out with 18.3 seconds to go. He hit two free throws later to ice the victory.
"It was a great comeback," Riverdale coach Kevin Woodson said. "We got a big turnover there that led to the free throws that tied it, and I thought that was the key play in the game. It's certainly a big win for us."
Chesterfield said he suffered the injury in practice a couple of days ago. But he helped Riverdale rally from a five-point deficit in the final minute of regulation.
Oakland's Kody Brown had a spinning eight-footer with 1:20 left that put Oakland ahead 51-47. With Riverdale down 53-48, Chesterfield hit a 3 with 31.8 seconds to go.
After Oakland's Jahaad Lyons hit a pair of free throws, Chesterfield had another layup with 12.2 seconds to go, making it 55-53.
Chesterfield then stole the ball on the inbounds pass and shot while being fouled. The shot rimmed out, but he hit both free throws with eight seconds left to tie the game.
Oakland got the ball to midcourt with 3.8 seconds left, but couldn't get a shot off. Christian Adams drove the baseline, but his pass went awry.
"Once we got into overtime," Chesterfield said, "we felt like the crowd gave us all the momentum."
Chesterfield had a team-high 15 points for Riverdale (12-4), while Smith had 14 points — all after halftime. Brown led Oakland with 15 points."We played our tails off," Oakland coach Mike Wright said, "and we had our chances in regulation. We're getting closer, but we've got to execute."
Despite coming in with a rough record, Oakland stood its ground early and held a 14-13 lead after one period. Brown pushed the lead to six with a jumper in the lane and a 3-pointer from the left wing, as the Patriots held Riverdale scoreless the first four minutes of the second quarter.
The Warriors finally scored, but a 3-pointer by Sean Carter and a falling-down shot in the lane by Rashod Carter gave Oakland some breathing room. Lyons' steal led to another basket, giving the Patriots a double-digit margin at 26-15.
Riverdale steadied itself, scoring the final six points of the half.
Points weren't much easier to come by in the third quarter. Riverdale cut its deficit to 31-28, but Oakland scored four straight — including an Adams layup and a Sean Carter hoop off a midcourt steal.
Smith closed the period with his second 3-pointer, making it 35-31 heading into the final eight minutes.
Riverdale 63, Oakland 59 (OT)
Oakland 14 12 9 20 4—59
Riverdale 13 8 10 24 8—63
OAKLAND: Brown 15, Adams 13, Lyons 10, S.Carter 10, Stephens 5, R.Carter 4, Smith 2.
