Chesterfield Sofa Styles Guide
Chester & Stone offers six Chesterfield styles. All keep the leather-and-tufting language; they differ in arm line, back height, and how formal the piece reads in a room.
How to use this guide
If you want the historical rolled-arm look, start with Classic. If your room is low-ceilinged or contemporary, Modern Low Profile or Square Arm usually fit better. Tufted Seat is the most decorative; Camelback and Sloped Arm sit between traditional and soft modern.
Style notes
Classic: rolled arms, deep buttoning, the reference Chesterfield.
Camelback: a gentle rise across the back for a more formal profile.
Modern Low Profile: shorter vertical mass, cleaner contemporary rooms.
Sloped Arm: a softer front rail and a longer, open sit.
Square Arm: vertical arms and a structured, architectural body.
Tufted Seat: buttoning continues through the seat cushions as well as the back.
