Victorian Chesterfield leather sofa
We are delighted to offer for sale this magnificent tufted Chesterfield bench covered in heritage green leather, dating from the late Victorian era around 1900. An elegant, well-made, and decorative stool, featuring new deep green leather with a crinkled aged finish. The structure resembles a Biedermeier harp on the sides. In terms of condition, there are some age-related patina marks and visible stains on one side. The stool has been meticulously cleaned, waxed, and hand-polished. The base can be restored with a full French finish at cost if the new buyer wishes. Dimensions (at widest point): height 63 cm, width 102 cm, depth 46 cm. Please note that the original leather has a natural patina in the form of creases and wear; we recommend annual waxing to prevent moisture loss. It is also advised not to expose the hand-dyed leather to direct sunlight for long periods to avoid drying and discolouration.
