Pair of Original Victorian Chesterfields, rare 4 seaters. Hardwood frame for lifetime of use...
There are two kinds of Chesterfields- the mass produced ones that last 5-10 years and then the original high-end constructions, designed to last a lifetime or two ! These are the latter: solid hardwood frames to ensure longevity; arms, backs and seats all coil sprung and extensively buttoned; screwed and stitched leather, rather than staple gunned and glued. These are statement pieces. Genuine 4 seaters i.e. with 4 individual seats are rare. I cannot find any other examples on the internet. They were the most expensive items of furniture on sale in Ponsford's Furniture Department store in (Sheffield's premier furniture store est. ). Since then they have only had one careful lady owner. There is nothing really comparable in terms of quality and craftsmanship I have been able to locate. Consider for example Ponsford's current Chesterfield-style Halo Chester 3 seater (£ each) - no doubt quality for today but frankly no comparison with what was available (albeit at a huge price) 35 years ago. The urgent need to de-clutter the house prior to putting the property on the market prompts this sale (they originally came from a larger property). I also have foot stools and arms chairs in the same style for sale advertised elsewhere which, owing to lack of use, are in amazing condition for their age.
