i love chesterfield sofas. they are stately and regal in a grand home, or like a big middle finger in an otherwise modern home. and that is to say they are a perfect foil for all those cool, industrial fixtures and lines. a look i love. i have yet to find a chesterfield under 2,000 dollars so these are about as obtainable to me as autocunnilingus...darn you spine...always in the way!!!
not ok...
images via ebay, ebay UK, la dolce vita blog, country living, living etc, apartment therapy and we heart it.

I love a great tufted sofa, and headboard, it cuts down on the brusies on my forehead.
But what is up with that donut looking thing, that has to be from the UK.
Love your blog!
Very pretty... Im a sucker for tufting!
I've been obsessed with Chesterfields for years so I can't believe I still don't have one. The distressed leather one is my favorite.
Chesterfield donut? No please.
Einey Meeney Miney Moe... Oh, heck, I'll take them all!! :-)
I just did a post on tufted headboards so if you love tufting, you'll have to check it out.

You've assembled quite a collection of photos - so many great ones here. I dig Chesterfield sofas too.
If I had a million dollars I would buy you a chesterfield or an ottoman, but not a real fur coat that's cruel.
I am not even going to say what that last image reminds me of...but I think you might know...
LOVE a chesterfield though, I have not given up in my search for tufted loveliness!
The donut shaped seat is very offensive! Thanks for sharing these ones!
just found your blog....i love you!
great photos and you are a great writer..

these are hot- I hope to have one in the man room I design for the BF one day....when he gives me the credit card and says "go nuts"
Okay, the donut version is just wrong. Loving the high backed version to use in a dining room/library. Just know I don't have one & would love one.
Yeah, what is up with that last picture???
I love the old ones with the worn and scratched up leather - those look awesome. Chesterfields always look better in leather!
The high-backed one is cool too.
And thanks for ppsssh-ing on my birthday (still 33 til next week though!). I know you mean it out of love! ;-)
Gah, the green one with the bolsters...yummy. I too have a chesterfield fixation. I actually have one similar to the gray velvet one you pictured, the one with the assorted green pillows. Mine is a green cotton velvet with a swoopy back. I love it, but for me a chesterfield must be leather. Loved.This.Post.
I am so behind on my google reader updates (international moving is the pits!!!!!!!!)...I've just read 38 of your posts, but OMG, this one just stopped me dead...I had to go back and read it again and again and then AGAIN

quote of the year!
as per usual, wonderful posts!
There was a 1930s orange one with matching club chair on ebay yesterday for $500 in South Carolina.
For any of you in the seattle area, we have an amazing vintage chesterfield in a worn kindof dark seafoam leather at my store, Scavenger Home. Check it out at scavengerhome.com. Honestly, I would have kept it for myself except for fear my cats would destroy
i sit here writing this with major lizard skin on my face. smiling produces another massive peel/reveal. know what i am talking about? WONDERBAR!
did you order? with shipping was 46.00 and is the size of a hotel mini soap. BUT it is working, thx!
chesterfields.....LOVE THEM! the one under the queen is exactly like the one i bought at scots for 1,200.00, mint vintage. picture under that w/kids is my neighbor. have even found some chesterfields at scots for 800.00 needing minor repair. check it out!

Bought one at the flea for $100.00. 99 inches long. Amazing. recovering as we speak. But not in leather. While I love it, felt it would be nice in a platinum velvet for a twist.
Love 'em. We have a furniture store in Oz called Domayne - they have a stunning WHITE one. TDF.
The last one looks like a crazy donut???
Oh, some lovely tufting and I'm sold...drooling over this post!
