The Chesterfield style is the most famous and recognizable furniture in the world. With its luxurious leather, deep buttons, low back and high arms, this characteristic style has graduated from gentlemen's clubs in the ancient British Empire, to become a popular home furniture in all corners of the world.

Between the 16th and 19th centuries, British territories and colonies conquered the world, forming what would become known as the British Empire. Wherever the British went, they also brought their favorite Chesterfields.
