Chesterfield Armchairs

It is a myth to dispel: the "original" Chesterfield, understood as a registered trademark or a single official factory in England, does not exist. Chesterfield exclusively indicates a style of furniture born in the 18th century. Today, many sofas defined as "original English" are actually industrial products mass-produced abroad and simply imported. To clear this up, we have written a dedicated guide on "original" English Chesterfield sofas, with all the truths and myths to dispel. The real value of a Chesterfield lies in its construction method: solid wood frame, high-quality real leather, and deep buttoning (capitonné) rigorously folded by hand.

The difference lies in durability, authenticity, and transparency. Many cheap sofas use chipboard frames, light foam padding, and fake stitching to simulate deep buttoning. At VAMA, we create every Chesterfield following the true Italian upholstery school, a family art that you can discover by reading our story founded in 1972. There are at least 7 reasons to choose a VAMA Chesterfield sofa, starting with our 100% handcrafted production in our factory in Tuscany.

The comfort of a Chesterfield depends entirely on how the interior is built. Cheap industrial models tend to be stiff and uncomfortable. Our handcrafted Chesterfields offer balanced comfort thanks to the use of high-resistance elastic straps (or biconical springs) and differentiated padding. Furthermore, you can customize the seat: if you love tradition you can opt for firmer cushions, if you look for total relaxation we can make them in soft goose down.

Leather quality is visible to the naked eye and can be felt to the touch. For our Chesterfields, we only use genuine bovine leather from the best Italian tanneries. We offer different finishes: from full-grain leather to hand-rubbed antique leather, which recreates the typical patina of old English clubs. To give you maximum confidence, we offer the opportunity to receive leather samples at home before making a purchase.

A true handcrafted Chesterfield can be recognized by its solid wood internal frame, durable suspension, and, above all, the deep buttoning craftsmanship. In our workshop in Tuscany, the tufting is folded entirely by hand, button by button, without fake stitching. The leather also makes a difference: using premium materials ensures the sofa lasts for decades.

Yes, being direct manufacturers since 1972, we can modify any model in our collection. We can create custom-made Chesterfields both in length and depth, adapting the wooden frame to the specific needs of your space.

Prices vary based on dimensions (2-seater, 3-seater, 4-seater, or corner) and the chosen upholstery category (leather, velvet, fabric). On our website, you can configure each model and calculate the transparent price in real-time. By purchasing directly from our factory, you eliminate retail middlemen costs.

We ship throughout Europe using exclusively specialized furniture couriers. The sofa is packed with high-density protections to ensure maximum safety during transit, and delivery is scheduled via a telephone appointment to arrange the most convenient day and time.
