1970s Handcrafted Chesterfield Two-Seater in Patinated Burgundy Leather - 8¾"

A beautifully compact two-seater English Chesterfield sofa from the 1970s, upholstered in a supple burgundy leather that has matured into a mellow, glowing patina.Handcrafted with deep hand-tied button tufting and gracefully rolled arms, complemented by a pair of loose seat cushions. The leather is richly expressive, its soft creasing and gentle wear speaking to decades of careful use and highlighting the sofa’s artisanal construction. Scuffs along the front rail and arm fronts blend naturally into the warm surface tones, while the tufting remains pleasingly intact, a testament to its enduring, handcrafted quality. Beneath, the dust cover shows expected age, including a tear to one corner; replacing the underside lining would be an easy update for a more polished finish.

Long associated with British club rooms since the 19th century, the Chesterfield is celebrated for its generous tufting, sculptural profile, and meticulous craftsmanship. This compact two-seater is ideally suited to a study, library, or den, where its warm burgundy tones can anchor wood paneling and book-lined walls. Pair it with a brass floor lamp and a wool throw for a refined reading nook, or set it opposite a vintage club chair on a Persian rug to create an intimate conversation area.
